Landlord Compliance Bundle in Lichfield
From enquiry to certificate: Landlord Compliance Bundle for landlords in Lichfield, handled by professionals holding the registration the law requires, with pricing confirmed before you commit.
Straight answer
Most rentals in Lichfield run on the same certificate clock: gas annually, electrical on a cycle of up to 5 years (England, Scotland and Wales), the EPC every 10 years at re-let, alarms evidenced each tenancy. A bundle syncs those cycles into a plan — anchored on the annual gas visit — rather than four separate scrambles.

Letting in Lichfield: the practical points
The bundle's contents flex by nation; its administration flexes by council. Lichfield District Council sets the local licensing layer — HMO conditions, evidence expectations — and the bundle file is built to answer exactly those requests for a Lichfield property without a scramble.
The law
Your legal duty, in plain English
No law requires bundling — each certificate keeps its own statutory basis, cycle and penalties. What the law does punish is lapses, and they compound: unlimited fines for gas offences, up to £30,000 per EICR breach in England, up to £5,000 for MEES or alarm breaches, blocked Section 21 notices in England, and licensing consequences where Lichfield District Council holds conditions. Tracking the set together is how the lapses stop.
The bundle is a convenience, not a legal product: your CP12, EICR, EPC, alarm check and PAT record are each issued under their own rules, by appropriately qualified professionals, on their own renewal cycles. We coordinate the diary so nothing lapses.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Lichfield District Council is the local housing authority for Lichfield.
The inspection
How the bundle is assembled
The assembly is per-nation by design: Scotland's version includes interlinked alarm standards and Repairing Standard checks; Wales's runs on the Renting Homes framework; Northern Ireland's drops the EICR (no general duty) while keeping gas, EPC and fitness-standard items. What stays constant is the principle — every certificate from a correctly registered professional, on one calendar.
Pricing
What the bundle costs
The saving is real but bounded — mostly callout and coordination, not the certificates themselves, which take the time they take. Where the bundle genuinely pays is avoided lapses and re-lets that don't stall on missing paperwork. Compare the range here against booking each certificate separately in your area and the arithmetic is usually short.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
A bundle is only as good as its weakest registration, so ours are assembled trade by trade: Gas Safe registration for the gas record, recognised-scheme electricians for the EICR, accredited domestic energy assessors for the EPC — each verified individually before booking, never covered by a general handyman ticket.
FAQ
Landlord Compliance Bundle questions, answered
Why bundle certificates rather than book separately?
Fewer visits and access requests for your tenant, aligned renewal dates that are easier to track, and typically better pricing than booking each certificate on its own. One file of documents also simplifies licensing and agent requests.
My agent manages the property — who is responsible?
Legal duties stay with the landlord even when an agent handles the bookings, unless specific duties are contractually delegated and accepted. Confirm in writing which certificates the agent tracks, and keep your own copies regardless.
What does a Lichfield rental legally need in the bundle?
For most gas-supplied rentals: an annual gas safety record, an EICR at least every 5 years (England, Scotland and Wales), a valid EPC when letting, and compliant smoke and CO alarms. Property-specific extras — HMO fire doors, PAT for supplied appliances — depend on your setup and licence conditions.
How do the different renewal cycles fit together?
Gas is annual; the EICR runs on a cycle of up to 5 years; the EPC lasts 10 years and matters when re-letting; alarms are evidenced at each tenancy start. A bundle aligns the annual visit as the anchor and slots the longer cycles in as they fall due.
What drives the cost of a compliance bundle?
Property size and appliance count (gas visit length), the number of circuits and installation age (EICR), and how many extras — PAT, legionella review, fire door checks — you add. Bundled pricing is guidance only until the property details are confirmed.
