As the property sector becomes more digital, so does compliance management. One of the most important documents for rental property safety is the CP12 Gas Safety Certificate—and accessing it online has never been easier or more important.
Fraser Bond shows landlords, tenants, and agents how to access gas safety certificates digitally while ensuring full legal compliance.
A CP12 confirms that a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected a property’s gas appliances and systems and verified they are safe to use. Landlords are legally required to:
Complete a gas safety check annually
Provide a copy of the certificate to:
New tenants before move-in
Current tenants within 28 days of the check
Keep the certificate for at least two years
Most Gas Safe registered engineers now issue digital CP12 certificates as PDF files. After an inspection, you’ll typically receive:
An email with a downloadable certificate
Access to a secure portal for historical inspections (if the company uses one)
Tip: Always ensure the certificate includes the date, appliance list, and engineer’s Gas Safe licence number.
If you use a property manager such as Fraser Bond:
Certificates are uploaded automatically to your landlord portal
You can download CP12s for individual properties 24/7
Tenants receive their own digital copies as part of legal compliance
Contact your gas engineer or the company that carried out the inspection:
Provide the address and date of the last check
Request a digital reissue of the certificate
Save the PDF to your digital compliance folder
Ask your landlord or letting agent to send a copy
You are legally entitled to receive the CP12 before your tenancy begins and within 28 days of any annual renewal
Verify the engineer’s registration on the Gas Safe Register
To verify your certificate’s engineer:
Visit the Gas Safe Register
Use the “Check an Engineer” tool
Enter the 7-digit licence number shown on the certificate
Confirm the engineer is currently registered and qualified for the type of gas work listed
