Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Brighton & Hove

A Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a legal requirement for any rental property with gas appliances in Brighton and Hove. Valid for 12 months, this must be renewed annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure tenant safety across our local community.

Landlord Legal Responsibilities

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords throughout Brighton and Hove are legally responsible for the safety of gas pipework, boilers, and flues. Our specialist inspections are performed by fully qualified engineers, ensuring your property remains compliant with local and national standards.

Annual Cycle:
Renewal Due

The 28-Day Rule

Landlords must provide a copy of the CP12 to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to any new tenants in Brighton or Hove before they take occupancy of the property.

Non-compliance is a serious criminal offence. It can lead to unlimited fines, potential imprisonment, and the invalidation of your landlord insurance policy for properties in the city.
