How does LandlordSorted help with landlord compliance certificates?

LandlordSorted includes a compliance certificate tracker that monitors expiry dates for Gas Safety certificates, EICR electrical reports, EPC ratings, smoke and CO alarm checks, Legionella risk assessments, and HMO licences. You enter the expiry date for each certificate and LandlordSorted emails you before it lapses. Non-compliance fines range from £5,000 to £30,000 depending on the certificate.

How often does a gas safety certificate need renewing for landlords?

Gas Safety certificates must be renewed annually. Landlords who let properties with gas appliances are legally required to arrange an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £6,000 and a criminal record.

Gas safety certificate for landlords — renewal, cost, and fines

This page is general information, not legal advice. Gas safety law is detailed; use official HSE / government guidance or a qualified Gas Safe engineer for your property.

The usual annual cycle

For most private residential lets in England and Wales, landlords need a Gas Safety Record (often called a CP12) from a Gas Safe registered engineer. The record is typically renewed every 12 months. The certificate shows the date of the check and when the next one is due — treat that as your source of truth.

Fines and enforcement

Non-compliance can mean enforcement, fines of up to £6,000, and in serious cases criminal sanctions. Insurers and tenants also expect a valid, in-date record where gas appliances are present.

Tenancy gaps and handovers

Problems often appear when a check slips between tenancies or when a new appliance is installed without an updated record. If you are unsure whether your current record still covers the property today, assume it does not until a qualified engineer confirms otherwise.

Why landlords track it in software

A single missed renewal creates serious risk. LandlordSorted stores expiry dates per property and emails reminders ahead of time so the renewal is booked before the last minute.
