Keeping a rental property compliant means keeping track of several different checks, each with its own deadline. Here are the main safety items to plan for.
Every rental property
- EICR — at least every five years.
- Gas Safety Record (CP12) — every 12 months if there are gas appliances.
- Smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where required, checked at the start of each tenancy.
HMOs and blocks of flats
- Fire risk assessment for common parts, kept up to date and recorded in writing.
- Fire alarm and emergency lighting inspections and certificates.
- Fire door checks.
Older properties
- Asbestos survey before refurbishment work on buildings built before 2000.
