What is a CP12 Certificate?
A CP12 (also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record or Gas Safety Certificate) is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances in a rental property have been checked and are safe to use.
Legal Requirement: As a landlord, you are legally required to have all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in your rental properties checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £6,000, imprisonment, or manslaughter charges in serious cases.
