Landlords in England are legally required to hold three certificates: a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), renewed annually; an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), renewed every five years; and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), valid for ten years. Failure to hold valid certificates can result in fines of up to £6,000 for gas breaches and up to £30,000 for electrical breaches, and may prevent landlords from serving a Section 21 notice.
A CP12 is the document issued after a gas safety inspection carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It confirms that all gas appliances, flues and pipework at a rental property have been inspected and are safe to use. Landlords must renew it every 12 months and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the check.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal assessment of a property's electrical installations carried out by a qualified electrician. It has been a legal requirement for all rental properties in England since April 2021, under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. It must be renewed at least every five years, or at the start of each new tenancy.
Operating a rental property without a valid CP12 is a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Landlords can face fines of up to £6,000 per breach, up to six months imprisonment, and invalidation of their insurance. In cases where a tenant is harmed, a landlord without a valid certificate could face manslaughter charges.
A C1 code indicates immediate danger — the issue must be resolved before the property can be rented. A C2 code means potentially dangerous — remedial work is required within 28 days. A C3 code is a recommendation for improvement and does not affect the overall pass or fail of the report. A property with C1 or C2 codes will be marked unsatisfactory and cannot legally be let until the issues are resolved.
A gas safety inspection typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the number of appliances. DK Lettings engineers carry out inspections across London and the surrounding areas, with certificates issued on the day and uploaded to your client portal immediately after the visit.
Yes. DK Lettings offers compliance packages that combine the gas safety certificate and electrical inspection into a single engineer visit, reducing cost per visit and minimising disruption to tenants. Portfolio packages are available for landlords managing multiple properties, with all certificates stored centrally in your DK Lettings client portal.
Yes. Landlords must give tenants at least 24 hours written notice before entering the property for a safety inspection. DK Lettings liaises directly with tenants to arrange access, confirm appointment times and provide a 30-minute heads-up on the day.
Awaab's Law, introduced under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, currently applies to social housing providers and requires them to investigate and fix reported hazards within fixed timeframes. While it does not yet apply directly to private landlords, it signals the clear direction of regulation — particularly around heating failures and damp. DK Lettings helps private landlords and letting agents stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements.
All certificates and job reports are uploaded to your DK Lettings client portal on the same day as the inspection. You can log in at any time to download your CP12, EICR or any other document — for any property on your account. No chasing engineers, no lost emails.
Whether it's a single CP12 or a full compliance package across a portfolio, DK Lettings makes it simple — with certified engineers, same-day certificates, and a client portal that keeps everything in one place.
