Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Leamington Spa

Straight answer
Every rented property in Leamington Spa with a gas supply needs an annual landlord gas safety check. Only an engineer on the Gas Safe Register can carry it out, the record lasts 12 months, and renewing in the final two months preserves your existing expiry date.

The inspection
What the engineer actually checks
Expect the visit to run appliance by appliance. Tightness testing at the meter comes first, ruling out leaks anywhere in the pipework. Each appliance is then fired up and tested — burner pressure or heat input, safety devices, stability, ventilation to the room — and each flue is checked for pull and termination. Defects are graded by how dangerous they are, and only a Gas Safe registered engineer's signature makes the resulting record valid.
The law
Why Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) matters for Leamington Spa landlords
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 make the annual check a hard legal duty wherever in the UK you let, Leamington Spa included. The HSE prosecutes failures — penalties are unlimited fines and potentially imprisonment — and in England an expired record blocks a valid Section 21 notice. If the property is a licensed HMO, expect Warwick District Council to require the current record as a licence condition too.
Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least every 12 months, keep the record for two years, give tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and give new tenants a copy before they move in.
Equivalent annual duty applies in Northern Ireland; engineers must be Gas Safe registered.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Warwick District Council is the local housing authority for Leamington Spa.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
Anyone can print an invoice; only a Gas Safe registered engineer can issue a valid landlord gas safety record. That registration — and insurance to back the work — is our non-negotiable bar for professionals we book. The Gas Safe Register is publicly searchable, so you never have to take anyone's word for it, including ours.
Pricing
What a CP12 costs
Two identical adverts can hide very different jobs — one boiler versus four appliances, ground-floor flat versus awkward loft access. That's why we show a guidance range rather than a headline teaser price, and confirm the real figure for your property before you commit. Bundling the annual boiler service into the same visit typically works out cheaper than booking it separately.
For landlords in Leamington Spa
Letting in Leamington Spa: the practical points
The gas rules themselves are national, so nothing about the check is different in Leamington Spa — what's local is the housing enforcement around it. Warwick District Council is the housing authority for the area, and if your property needs an HMO licence, the current gas record is the kind of document its conditions will expect you to hold and produce on request.
FAQ
Common questions about the Landlord Gas Safety Record (commonly called a CP12)
How long must I keep gas safety records?
Keep each record for at least two years. Because defects and history can matter in disputes, many landlords keep the full chain of records for the life of the tenancy — digital copies are fine.
What if an appliance fails the gas safety check?
The engineer records the defect and classifies how dangerous it is. Immediately dangerous appliances may be disconnected with your permission. You must have faults fixed by a Gas Safe engineer before the appliance is used again; the record itself lists the defects found.
What happens if I let a property in Leamington Spa without a valid gas safety record?
It is a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Cases are prosecuted by the HSE and can lead to unlimited fines and, in serious cases, imprisonment. A missing record can also block a valid Section 21 notice in England.
Are the gas rules different for an HMO in Leamington Spa?
The annual check itself is the same, but HMO licensing (administered by Warwick District Council) usually requires you to provide the current gas safety record with your licence application and on request. Check your licence conditions for any extra record-keeping duties.
Do tenants' own gas appliances need to be on my record?
Appliances owned by the tenant are not the landlord's responsibility to check, but the pipework serving them is, and any flue serving a tenant appliance that you own must be included. Note the division of responsibility in your tenancy agreement.
