At Hastings Property Services, 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, ensuring properties remain 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:
- Ensure inspections are completed at the correct intervals
- Coordinate access with tenants
- Keep records for compliance purposes
- Flag upcoming renewals
This approach reduces risk and ensures nothing is missed.
Gas Safety Certificates
Landlords are responsible for ensuring that all gas appliances, pipework and flues are safe. A Gas Safety Certificate must be renewed annually and provided to tenants.
We can arrange inspections with Gas Safe registered engineers, coordinate access, and maintain records of certification as part of our managed service.
Further guidance can be found 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 known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), typically required every 5 years.
We arrange qualified electricians to carry out inspections and ensure any remedial works are addressed where required. As part of our management service, we ensure all properties remain 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 ensure EPCs are obtained and kept up to date as part of the overall compliance process.
Part of a Managed Approach
For many landlords, managing compliance across multiple certificates, expiry dates and contractors can become time-consuming.
Our service is designed to bring this together into a single, managed process.
