For landlords it's issued as a Landlord Gas Safety Record (commonly called a CP12) and is a legal requirement. For homeowners it's the same check, issued as a Gas Safety Certificate for peace of mind, insurance or sale. Who it's for Landlords (legally required every 12 months, before a new tenancy and within 28 days of a new appliance), letting agents, holiday-let owners, homeowners selling a property, buyers commissioning a pre-purchase check, and anyone who's smelled gas, heard a boiler 'lock out' or noticed scorch marks around a flue. When you need it Landlord CP12: every 12 months — no exceptions. Homeowner: at point of sale, after any gas works, after moving in, or if any appliance is over 10 years old and has never been inspected. Why professional matters The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 make landlords criminally liable for unsafe appliances. Fines start at £6,000 per offence and can include imprisonment. Beyond the law, faulty gas appliances cause around 30 carbon monoxide deaths in the UK every year — a £90 inspection demonstrably prevents them. What it costs to delay ## The real consequences of putting it off Most landlords and homeowners don't think about gas safety until something goes wrong. By then, the cost is no longer £90: ### Criminal prosecution for landlords An expired CP12 is a HSE-prosecutable offence. Recent cases include £8,000 fines for a single missed inspection and unlimited fines plus prison where tenants were harmed. ### Voided landlord insurance Every major landlord insurer requires an in-date CP12. A claim without one — even an unrelated water-damage claim — can be refused outright. ### Carbon monoxide poisoning CO is colourless and odourless. Early symptoms mimic flu and are routinely misdiagnosed. A faulty boiler or blocked flue can poison a sleeping family within hours. ### Failed house sale Buyers' solicitors now routinely request a recent gas safety certificate. Without one, sales stall in conveyancing and discounts get negotiated against you. ### Compounding repair costs Inspections catch worn seals, blocked condensate traps and degrading flues before they become £600 scheduled repairs. ### Common mistakes we fix Booking the inspection on the day the old one expiresIf the engineer can't access an appliance — or finds a fault — you've already lapsed. Always book 4 weeks before the expiry date. Assuming the gas hob doesn't countCP12 covers every gas appliance: boiler, hob, oven, fire, water heater. Missing one invalidates the certificate. Accepting a paper-only cert with no flue-gas dataA valid CP12 records combustion analysis readings. If your engineer can't produce those numbers, the certificate is worthless.

Free, automatic, never a lapsed cert. The Engineering Detail ## Under the bonnet A genuine gas safety inspection is not a quick walk-around. Here is exactly what a CP12 from Greencore covers: ### What the inspection physically tests On every gas appliance: operating pressure, gas rate (kW input), combustion ratio (CO/CO₂), flue performance under spillage test, ventilation adequacy, flame picture, stability of installation. On the installation itself: tightness test (let-by and standing pressure), pipework condition, emergency control valve accessibility, meter regulator condition. ### Landlord CP12 — the legal requirements Must be renewed every 12 months. A copy must be given to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection. A copy must be given to new tenants before they move in. Records must be retained for 2 years. From October 2022, every rented property must also have a CO alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding cookers). ### Homeowner inspection — when it pays for itself Pre-sale (smooths conveyancing), pre-purchase (negotiation leverage if faults found), post-renovation (essential after any extension or kitchen refit), after a near-miss (CO alarm sounded, smell of gas, pilot keeps going out). ### What 'not satisfactory' actually means If we find a fault we classify it as Immediately Dangerous (ID — disconnected on the spot with permission), At Risk (AR — disconnected with permission, recommended for repair) or Not to Current Standards (NCS — safe to use, advised for upgrade). Every category is explained in writing with a quote to remediate. ### Multi-property and HMO inspections We service portfolio landlords across North Yorkshire with co-ordinated tenant access, bulk-booked visits and consolidated monthly invoicing. HMOs and bedsits require additional fire-safety considerations around appliance siting — we handle the lot. ### Combining with annual service A CP12 confirms safety; an annual service maintains efficiency and warranty. We strongly recommend bundling both in one visit — same engineer, one access, one invoice, one certificate.
