Does licensing in Richmond upon Thames affect gas safety?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Richmond upon Thames as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames: the local picture

Richmond and St Margarets period houses can retain boilers and flues in positions shaped by earlier alterations, while Hampton family homes may have heating serving later additions. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates landlord gas safety checks by Gas Safe registered engineers, with appliance details and access established beforehand. For a Barnes conversion, confirm whether any relevant equipment sits outside the flat. Digital certificates support the landlord's records, but boiler servicing and corrective work should remain separately identified. Tell the person arranging the visit about known faults rather than waiting for the scheduled annual check to report them.

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.
