Every North London rental property needs one — every year.

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require all private landlords to have a Gas Safety Record — commonly called a CP12 — carried out annually on every gas appliance in their rental property. This isn't optional, it isn't conditional on the property's age, and it applies to every rental property in North London from a one-bedroom flat in Holloway to a large HMO in Tottenham. Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines, six months imprisonment, and — most seriously — genuine danger to tenants.

N4 Gas carries out CP12 inspections for landlords and letting agents across all North London postcodes. We understand the demands on landlords with multiple properties and work flexibly to minimise disruption. Our engineers are DBS checked, fully Gas Safe registered, and will deal directly with your tenants — giving them clear explanations and leaving the property exactly as they found it.

The cost of not having a valid CP12

If a North London landlord cannot produce a valid, in-date Gas Safety Record, they can face prosecution, an unlimited fine and up to six months in prison. Beyond the legal penalties, in the event of a gas-related incident at a property without a valid CP12, landlord liability is essentially unlimited. No managing agent or letting agency in North London will manage a property without one — and most mortgage lenders and insurers require annual gas safety certification as a condition of cover. There is no acceptable reason not to have one.

What a North London CP12 inspection covers

Our Gas Safe registered engineers inspect all gas appliances at the property — typically the boiler, any gas fires, hobs and other appliances. For each appliance, we assess:

Safe combustion
Flue integrity & termination
Gas tightness test
Ventilation adequacy
Safety devices operation
Operating pressure check
Immediately Dangerous (ID) assessment
At Risk (AR) status assessment

CP12 questions — North London landlords

Every 12 months without exception. The annual Gas Safety Record (CP12) must be renewed each year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. There are no exemptions based on property age, appliance type or tenancy duration. A landlord who cannot produce an in-date CP12 is in breach of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

Yes — the law requires landlords to provide tenants with a copy of the current Gas Safety Record within 28 days of the inspection, and to new tenants before they move in. We can arrange for the certificate to be issued digitally to both you and your tenant on the same day as the inspection.

Yes — and we strongly recommend combining both. Booking the annual boiler service and the CP12 inspection in the same visit saves both time and cost. The engineer carries out the service first, then the safety inspection. Most North London landlords on our books choose this combined approach.

A landlord must take all reasonable steps to carry out the annual gas safety check. If a tenant refuses access, you should write to them formally explaining the legal requirement, make at least two further appointment attempts (keeping records), and as a last resort take legal advice about access. We can provide written confirmation of appointment attempts for your records if required.
