Gas safety, EICR and EPC: keeping certificate dates in one place

The certificates most landlords in England need, how often they’re renewed, and how to stop an expiry date slipping past.

Most of a landlord’s safety paperwork has a renewal date. Missing one can stop you serving some notices and can put tenants at risk. Here are the usual three; check the current rules on GOV.UK for your property.

The usual three

  • Gas safety record: a Gas Safe registered engineer checks gas appliances every 12 months, and tenants get a copy.
  • Electrical safety (EICR): the electrical installation is inspected at least every 5 years.
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): valid for 10 years, and needed when you let the property.

HMOs and some areas need more, such as an HMO or selective licence and fire safety checks.
