Landlord Gas Safety Checks (CP12)

Gas appliances that have been supplied by the landlord in rented accommodation are, by law, required to be tested and certified on an annual basis. The checks are commonly referred to as Landlord CP12 checks, from the name of the original CORGI form used to record details of an inspection.

When a safety check is carried out we accurately record the findings on the CP12 form. This document is in 3 parts. One part to be kept by the Landlord, one to be issued to the tenant(s) and the third to be kept by the gas operative.

We can remind you every 12 months that a service or safety check is due, and if needed, will be happy to arrange access to rented property directly with your tenants.

We do not have a fixed price for a CP12 check. Some gas installers charge very little for a CP12 certificate but in return, they do not do much in terms of checking for gas safety. They are effectively selling CP12 certificates. This does not help you as a landlord in terms of discharging your responsibilites, and does nothing for gas safety. While we may appear to charge more for a safety check, we actually service the appliance(s) and issue the CP12 as a result of the findings from the servicing.

A typical visit for a CP12 check with a dwelling containing a central heating boiler and one gas fire would be around £90.00, with discounts given for multiple appliances in the same property, or where a landlord assigns us to carry out safety checks at more than one of their rental properties.
