Why Richmond Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate Every Year
The law is clear: as a landlord, you must have all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in your rental properties checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This annual check results in the issuance of a Landlord Gas Safety Record, also known as a CP12. Failing to comply puts your tenants at risk from dangerous gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning and leaves you open to hefty fines and potential legal action. It is your responsibility to keep all gas appliances in safe working order. Think of it this way: it's a small price to pay for the safety and well-being of your tenants – and your own peace of mind.

Accessing Your Richmond Rental Property for Gas Safety Checks: A Landlord's Guide
Gaining access to your rental property is key for completing the gas safety check. You must give your tenants at least 24 hours' written notice before our engineer arrives. It's always best to work collaboratively with your tenants to find a convenient time. If a tenant denies access, keep a record of all attempts to arrange the inspection, as this may be needed to demonstrate that you've taken reasonable steps to comply with the law. Preferred Gas is happy to liaise with tenants on your behalf to arrange access, making the process as smooth as possible.
