Does licensing in City of London affect gas safety?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in City of London as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with City of London 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 City of London | Peachtree Maintenance

Gas safety in City of London: the local picture

Gas arrangements vary between City homes, so a Barbican or Golden Lane address should not automatically be booked as an individual boiler inspection. Establish whether the dwelling contains gas appliances and who maintains any communal heating equipment. Peachtree Maintenance can coordinate checks by Gas Safe registered engineers for the relevant landlord installation. For converted accommodation near Smithfield, list appliances, meter positions and any concealed flue routes already documented. Access to neighbouring or managed spaces must be agreed before a check involving those locations can be completed.

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.
