Energy performance

EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) across London

Every marketed rental needs a valid EPC — a 10-year certificate with an A-to-G rating — and in England and Wales the rating itself must clear the MEES minimum of E. About the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

Fire safety

Fire Door Inspection across London

For blocks and HMOs across the area, fire door inspections are the certificate-grade evidence that escape routes will hold — mandated quarterly and annually in England's 11m+ residential buildings. About the Fire door inspection report.

Appliance safety

PAT Testing across London

Portable Appliance Testing is the quick, per-item check that keeps supplied appliances demonstrably safe — commonly annual or per-tenancy, and often mandatory under HMO licences. About the PAT test record / register.

Water hygiene

Legionella Risk Assessment across London

Every landlord must assess and control legionella risk; for most ordinary rentals that's one proportionate written assessment with simple controls, not an annual certificate. About the Legionella risk assessment report.

Alarms

Smoke & CO Alarm Check across London

Across the area's rentals, alarm compliance means the right units in the right places for the nation's rules, tested and dated — checked standalone or alongside gas and electrical visits. About the Alarm compliance check record.

The full set

Landlord Compliance Bundle across London

For landlords running more than one renewal clock, the bundle is the scheduling layer: every certificate from the correctly registered trade, tracked on one calendar. About the Combined compliance visit (individual certificates issued per service).
