EPC
Energy Performance Certificates are a legal requirement on all vacate properties advertised for rental. An EPC Certificate expires and requires renewal after 10 years. Our qualified assessors carry out this service for £75 plus VAT.
CP12 Landlords Gas Safety Certificate
A legal requirement for all rental properties containing any sort of gas appliance, this certificate can only be issued after property and appliances have been checked and assessed by a Gas Safe registered engineer and must be renewed on a yearly basis.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers supply offer this service at cost £65 plus VAT.
Electrical Periodic Inspection Reports
A periodic inspection report is an inspection and test report on an electrical system to BS7671. BS 7671 is the British Standard for electrical installations in the UK. It is not currently law to have a current electrical safety certificate unless requested by local government for rental licences or student accommodation.
However we strongly advise all our Landlords to have an inspection report carried out on their rental properties as if the electrical installation or wiring is deemed unsafe or if anyone is hurt then the Landlord is liable regardless of whether it is a legal requirement to have a certificate.
Is should also be noted that most insurance companies require that a certificate is in place, if not, the insurance can refuse to pay out on a claim if not supplied with a valid certificate.
Our qualified NICEIC registered electrician offers an electrical periodic inspection report for the cost of £150 plus VAT.
Smoke Alarms
We strongly advise that all rental properties are fitted with smoke alarms that comply with BS5446 – Part 1. Ideally mains wired alarms are best or alarms fitted with a 10 year lithium battery.
The size of the property denotes how many smoke alarms are required, our qualified contractors will happily attend your property and provide guidance and advice on this matter.
