Gas, Electric and EPC certificates

We support landlords with the compliance requirements that come with owning and managing property. This includes arranging Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Inspections (EICR) and EPCs where required.

These services are typically provided as part of our ongoing management and compliance support, keeping properties legally compliant without landlords needing to organise multiple contractors themselves.

Coordinated compliance, not just one-off certificates

We work with trusted, qualified local engineers to carry out inspections and certification. Where issues are identified, we can also arrange remedial works to bring the property up to standard. Rather than simply issuing certificates, our role is to:

• Make sure inspections are completed at the correct intervals
• Coordinate access with tenants
• Keep records for compliance purposes
• Flag upcoming renewals

This approach reduces risk and makes sure nothing is missed.

Gas Safety Certificates

Landlords are responsible for making sure all gas appliances, pipework and flues are safe. A Gas Safety Certificate must be renewed annually and provided to tenants.

We arrange inspections with Gas Safe registered engineers, coordinate access, and keep records of certification as part of our managed service. Further guidance is available on the Gas Safe Register website.

Electrical inspections (EICR)

Electrical systems must be safe at the start of a tenancy and maintained throughout. The standard inspection is the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), typically required every 5 years.

We arrange qualified electricians to carry out inspections and make sure any remedial works are addressed. As part of our management service, we keep all properties within valid certification periods.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

An EPC is required when marketing a property and must be made available to prospective tenants. Currently, a minimum rating of E is required for most rental properties.

EPCs are valid for 10 years, but they also play a role in wider compliance. For example, serving certain notices may depend on valid documentation being in place. Where we manage properties, we make sure EPCs are obtained and kept up to date.

Part of a managed approach

For many landlords, keeping track of multiple certificates, expiry dates and contractors becomes time-consuming. Our service brings this together into a single, managed process. See our Block Management and HMO Management services.
