Comprehensive Safety Checks for Landlords
Ensuring Property Safety: Gas Safety Certificate, EICR, and Fire Risk Assessment
As a landlord, ensuring the safety of your tenants and compliance with legal requirements is paramount. Three critical safety checks are essential: the Gas Safety Certificate, the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and the Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).
Gas Safety Certificate: This certificate is issued after a Gas Safe registered engineer inspects and tests all gas appliances and installations in your property. Landlords must obtain this certificate annually and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Failure to comply can result in heavy fines and legal action.
EICR: The EICR involves a thorough examination of your property's electrical systems by a qualified electrician. As of June 2020, landlords are legally required to have an EICR conducted at least every five years. The report highlights any issues and ensures that the electrical installations are safe and meet current standards.
Fire Risk Assessment: An FRA identifies fire hazards, evaluates risks, and recommends measures to mitigate these risks. Landlords are legally obligated to conduct regular FRAs to protect tenants and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. This process includes inspecting fire alarms, exits, and other safety equipment.
For all these essential safety checks, Landlords Checks offers comprehensive services. Their team of certified professionals ensures your property meets all safety regulations, providing thorough inspections, detailed reports, and guidance on necessary improvements. With prices starting at £29 for a Gas Safety Certificate and £79 for a Fire Risk Assessment, it's a small investment for peace of mind.
