If your CP12 slips, the consequences aren't small. Unlimited fines, up to six months in prison, invalidated insurance, and a single date error can kill a Section 21. Fixed £70 certificate, emailed same day, automated renewal reminder eleven months on. No missed dates.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords have a legal duty to check every gas appliance in a rented property annually, and to hold a valid CP12 Landlord Gas Safety Record proving it. Miss the deadline, use an unregistered engineer, or leave the wrong detail on the form, and you can lose the certificate's legal standing. In a fatal case caused by a faulty boiler, charges can escalate to manslaughter. This page is not legal advice — for authoritative guidance see the HSE's landlord gas safety pages and the Gas Safe Register.
£70 fixed price CP12. Gas Safe registered under #585424. Same-day email delivery with your landlord address, engineer signature, and every appliance logged correctly — no missing fields that could invalidate the certificate. Online booking with a morning or afternoon slot, confirmation email and calendar invite sent immediately, 30-minute arrival notice to the tenant. And eleven months from the inspection date, an automated email + SMS reminder so you never miss the renewal window.
You lose legal standing to let the property under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Penalties include unlimited fines, up to six months imprisonment, and potential invalidation of your property insurance. Expired certificates also make it much harder to serve a valid Section 21 notice — a single date error has killed eviction cases. Authoritative guidance: HSE.
Tenants have a right to 'quiet enjoyment' but landlords have a legal duty under the Gas Safety Regulations to carry out annual checks. If a tenant refuses access, document every attempt in writing — texts, emails, dated letters. Courts have sided with landlords who demonstrated reasonable efforts. For escalation, speak to your local council's environmental health team or a property solicitor. This is not legal advice.
Immediately Dangerous (ID) means an appliance is unsafe to use and must be disconnected or capped off on the spot · for example, active carbon monoxide spillage or an unsafe flue. At Risk (AR) means a fault is present but not immediately life-threatening · the appliance is isolated with your consent while a fix is scheduled. Both findings are recorded on the CP12 with full detail of the fault and the action taken.
Not automatically. A CP12 is valid for 12 months from the inspection date regardless of tenant changes. However, you must give the new tenant a copy of the current CP12 before they move in, or within 28 days of inspection if it's a renewal during a live tenancy. Authoritative guidance: HSE landlord guidance.
