Full annual compliance in a single attendance. Gas safety certificate, electrical condition report and boiler service combined — covering your legal obligations and your boiler's health in one visit.
Bespoke packages for landlords managing multiple properties or letting agents managing multiple clients. We schedule all inspections across your portfolio, manage tenant liaison, consolidate invoicing and maintain a complete compliance record for every property in your DK Lettings client portal.
Every 12 months. The CP12 must be renewed annually and provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. New tenants must receive a copy before they move in. DK Lettings tracks renewal dates for every property in your portfolio and notifies you when a certificate is due.
At least every five years, or at the start of each new tenancy — whichever comes first. Since April 2021 this has been a legal requirement for all privately rented properties in England.
Yes. Non-compliance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 is a criminal offence. Landlords can face fines of up to £6,000 per breach, up to six months imprisonment and insurance invalidation. In cases where a tenant is harmed, manslaughter charges are possible.
Local authorities can impose fines of up to £30,000 per property for failure to hold a valid EICR or failure to carry out required remedial works within the specified timeframe.
No. A property with C1 or C2 codes is classified as unsatisfactory and cannot legally be let until the issues are resolved. C1 faults must be resolved immediately. C2 faults must be resolved within 28 days, with written confirmation provided to the tenant and local authority. DK Lettings carries out all remedial works and issues an updated satisfactory report once complete.
Yes. Since October 2022, landlords in England must install a carbon monoxide alarm in every room containing a fixed combustion appliance — including rooms with gas boilers and gas fires. Alarms must be in working order at the start of each tenancy.
A Section 21 notice is invalid if the landlord has not provided the tenant with a valid EPC, a current CP12 gas safety certificate, and the government's How to Rent guide. Missing any one of these documents means a Section 21 cannot be legally served until the situation is remedied.
Not yet. Awaab's Law currently applies to registered social housing providers. However, the direction of UK housing regulation strongly suggests that similar obligations will extend to the private rented sector in the coming years. Landlords who maintain thorough compliance records now will be well prepared when that happens.
