Landlords by law must have their gas appliances checked once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Upon completion of the gas check, the Gas Safe registered engineer will provide a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required whenever a property is built, sold or rented.
An EPC gives a property an energy efficency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years. All rental accommodation should have the distribuiton board checked every 5 years, this is called an Electrical Condition Report (EICR) Universities and Landlord Accrediitation Schemes require a PAT Testing certificate every 2 years.

When renting out a property it is a legal requirement to have a valid gas safety certificate on an annual basis. Without a valid Gas Safety Certificate the building owner can be fined up to 5000 per property. It is the responsibility of the person selling or renting the property to have a valid EPC.
