What the CP12 Record Is Used For

Why a Current CP12 Record Matters

What Can Happen When a Rental Property Has No Current Gas Safety Record

A CP12 records the annual gas safety check for the landlord-provided appliances and flues included in the visit. Without a current inspection and record, faults may remain unnoticed and there is no up-to-date document showing what was checked or what action was advised.

Urgent gas concern Do not wait for a CP12 appointment if you suspect a gas leak.

If you smell gas, leave the property if necessary and contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first. Once the immediate risk has been made safe, call us on 020 3892 8545 to arrange follow-up work or gas leak detection .

Call 020 3892 8545
No current inspection record There Is No Up-to-Date Record of What Was Checked

Without a current CP12, the landlord cannot refer to a recent document showing which appliances and flues were included in the annual check.

Appliances may be missed

There is no current list confirming which landlord-provided gas appliances formed part of the inspection.

No recent inspection details

The property has no up-to-date record of the inspection date, engineer or recorded result.

Actions are harder to track

A fault or advised next step may not be documented clearly for the landlord, agent or tenant.

Problems can remain hidden An Appliance May Appear to Work Normally

A boiler or gas appliance can continue operating while combustion, ventilation, flue conditions or safety controls still need attention.

Combustion problems

Poor combustion may produce carbon monoxide or other combustion products without an obvious change in normal use.

Flue or ventilation issues

Restricted airflow or a problem with the flue may affect how combustion products leave the property.

Delayed repair work

Without an inspection finding, the need for repair, servicing or replacement may not be recognised promptly.

Landlord records Tenant Copies and Record Keeping Can Fall Behind

Landlords need a current gas safety record and must provide it to tenants within the required timescales.

Annual check overdue

The property may pass the twelve-month point without a current record for the relevant appliances and flues.

No current tenant copy

Existing or incoming tenants cannot receive the latest record until the inspection has been completed.

Gaps in the record history

Missing or delayed records make it harder to keep a complete two-year history of completed gas safety checks.

Existing tenants receive the completed record within 28 days. New tenants receive the current record before moving in, and landlords retain each record for at least two years.

Faults can go unrecorded Unsafe Equipment May Continue to Be Used

The CP12 records faults and the action taken or advised. Without the check, a problem may remain unknown while the appliance continues to be used.

Unsafe use may continue

A fault may not be identified until the appliance stops working or the problem becomes more serious.

Repairs may be delayed

The landlord may not know that repair work or a replacement part needs to be arranged.

No written next step

There is no current document showing the defect or the action advised by the inspecting engineer.

Repairs, replacement parts and gas appliance installations are arranged separately from the CP12 inspection.

Separate maintenance A CP12 Does Not Replace Boiler Servicing

The CP12 records the annual safety check. Routine servicing covers maintenance work outside the certificate inspection.

Maintenance can still be due

A current CP12 does not mean the boiler has received its routine service.

Cleaning and adjustment

Maintenance work such as cleaning or adjustment is not automatically included in the landlord gas safety check.

Separate booking required

Servicing and maintenance must be arranged as their own appointment when needed.

Arrange boiler servicing or gas servicing and maintenance separately from the CP12.

01 What is a CP12 Landlord Gas Safety Record?

A CP12 is the familiar name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record used for residential rental properties. It identifies the landlord-provided gas appliances and flues checked during the visit and records the inspection result.

02 Who needs a CP12?

Landlords need a current gas safety record for the gas appliances and flues they own and provide for tenants to use. The duty applies to rented homes, including houses, flats and other residential rental accommodation.

03 How often must a CP12 be renewed?

The relevant landlord-provided gas appliances and flues must receive a gas safety check every twelve months. The next inspection should be arranged before the current record reaches its due date.

04 Can the annual CP12 check be completed early?

Yes. The check can be completed up to two months before the current due date while retaining the existing annual deadline, provided it is arranged within the permitted renewal window.

05 Which appliances and flues are included in a CP12?

The inspection covers the landlord-owned gas appliances and associated flues included in the booking. All permanent and portable gas appliances supplied by the landlord for the tenant's use should be considered when arranging the check.

06 Does a CP12 cover a tenant-owned gas appliance?

The landlord is not responsible for checking a gas appliance owned by the tenant. The landlord remains responsible for relevant parts of the installation and pipework serving the property.

07 How much does a CP12 cost?

A CP12 costs £87 for one domestic gas appliance, £97 for two and £105 for three. The £33 gas meter and soundness check is a separate option and is not a full CP12 for appliances and flues.

08 Who can carry out a CP12 inspection?

The inspection must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified for the appliances and work involved. Citywide Plumbers is registered under number 669196. Check our registration and listed competencies .

09 What information appears on the completed CP12?

The record identifies the property, inspection date, engineer and appliances checked. It also records the result and any safety defect, classification or action taken or advised.

10 What happens if the engineer finds a fault?

The fault and the action taken or advised are recorded on the CP12. An appliance classified as unsafe must not be used until the problem has been dealt with. Repairs, parts and replacement work are booked separately.

11 Is a CP12 the same as a boiler service?

No. A CP12 records the annual safety check for the appliances and flues included in the appointment. A boiler service is a separate maintenance visit and may include cleaning, adjustment or other work.

12 When must tenants receive the CP12 record?

Existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the completed check. A new tenant must receive the current record before moving into the property.

13 How long must a landlord keep CP12 records?

The landlord must keep each completed gas safety check record for at least two years. Keeping an organised record history also makes the next renewal date easier to track.

14 How should I prepare for the CP12 appointment?

Provide the property address, appliance count and access details when booking. Make sure the engineer can reach the gas meter, each booked appliance and the relevant flues and ventilation points. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 rather than waiting for the appointment.
