How often does a landlord need a gas safety check?
Every 12 months. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require a check of every gas appliance and flue by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least once a year. A check done in the two months before the due date keeps the original anniversary date.How often does a rented property need an EICR?
At least every five years, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. If the report gives an earlier date for the next inspection, that earlier date applies. Any urgent work it lists must be done within 28 days or sooner.How long does an EPC last?
Ten years. A landlord must have a valid EPC to give a new tenant, and a let property must currently meet at least band E unless an exemption is registered. An EPC that runs out during a tenancy does not need renewing until the next new let.Does the landlord register ask for these certificates?
Yes. The ‘Register your rental property’ service asks for the current gas safety record, the electrical report and the EPC for each property, and any that change or run out must be updated within 28 days.
