Does licensing in Barnet affect gas safety?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Barnet as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Barnet Council before letting. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

Is a CP12 the same as a gas safety certificate?

CP12 is a widely used name for the landlord gas safety record. The important point is that the record contains the required information and follows a proper check by an appropriately registered engineer. Its title alone does not establish that the installation is safe.

Does a boiler service include the landlord gas safety check?

Not automatically. A service follows the appliance's maintenance needs, while the landlord check has a specific safety and recording purpose. They can sometimes be arranged together, but confirm both tasks are booked and that you receive the landlord gas safety record.

Gas safety in Barnet: the local picture

Hendon conversions and extended houses in Mill Hill can have quite different gas arrangements, even where both use individual boilers. Provide details of landlord-supplied appliances, previous records and any known access restrictions before booking. A Gas Safe registered engineer must carry out the relevant checks, and defects need their own follow-up rather than being hidden by an inspection appointment. For Golders Green flats, identify whether heating is communal or supplied within the dwelling so the instruction covers the correct equipment and responsibilities.

What the rules say

Where a rented home has gas appliances, flues or pipework provided by the landlord, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months. The engineer records the result on a landlord gas safety record.

Existing tenants should receive a copy within 28 days of the check and new tenants before they move in. Records are kept for at least two years. A check carried out up to two months before the due date can keep the original renewal date.
