Landlord Compliance Bundle in Merton
Book your Landlord Compliance Bundle in Merton with a vetted professional — clear pricing guidance, certificates delivered digitally, renewal reminders included.
Straight answer
Most rentals in Merton 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.
Booking
What happens when you enquire
We're building coverage in Merton through our national onboarding programme, and we won't pretend otherwise with a fake availability calendar. Send the property details and we'll confirm by email whether we can cover the job, and the price, before anything is committed.
Pricing
What the bundle costs
Bundle pricing is the sum of the parts minus the overlap: shared callouts, combined visits and one round of scheduling instead of four. The guidance range reflects a typical gas-supplied single let taking the core set; HMO extras — fire doors, higher-grade alarms, PAT — price on top per the property. As always: guidance until the property details are confirmed.
The inspection
How the bundle is assembled
It starts with an audit of what the property actually needs: gas supply or not, which nation's electrical and alarm rules apply, EPC status and rating, HMO licence conditions if any. From that comes a schedule — usually the annual gas visit as the anchor, with the EICR and EPC slotted in as they fall due — and the trades booked to match: a Gas Safe engineer for gas, a qualified electrician for the EICR and any PAT, an accredited assessor for the EPC.
Paperwork
One property, one file, four dates
The bundle's quiet advantage is the file it leaves: current gas record plus the two prior years', the EICR with any remedial confirmations, the EPC (and any MEES exemption), alarm schedules per tenancy, and licence extras — one property, one folder, four renewal dates diarised. Agent requests, London Borough of Merton queries and lender checks all answer from the same place.
The law
What the law asks of landlords in Merton
The legal detail that catches landlords out is the mismatch of cycles and triggers: certificates expire on dates, but duties often bite at events — tenancy start for alarms and copies, re-marketing for the EPC, licence renewal for HMO evidence. A bundle mapped to both dates and events, with London Borough of Merton's licence conditions folded in, closes the gaps single bookings leave.
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; London Borough of Merton is the local housing authority for Merton.
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.
For landlords in Merton
Letting in Merton: the practical points
Portfolio landlords in Merton feel the bundle effect most: one calendar across properties, one document standard, one renewal rhythm — and when London Borough of Merton, a lender or a buyer asks for the compliance position, the answer is a folder, not a fortnight of phone calls.
FAQ
Common questions about the Combined compliance visit (individual certificates issued per service)
What paperwork should I hold at any given time?
The current gas record and the previous two years', the in-date EICR with any remedial confirmations, the EPC, alarm test evidence per tenancy, and any licence-specific certificates. Digital copies organised per property answer most agent, council and lender requests.
Does the bundle differ across the UK nations?
Yes. Scotland adds interlinked alarm standards and Repairing Standard checks; Wales runs on the Renting Homes framework with its own electrical and alarm rules; Northern Ireland has no general EICR duty for private lets. A good bundle is assembled per nation, not copied from England.
I'm a first-time landlord — where do I start?
Before the tenancy: gas safety record, satisfactory EICR, valid EPC at E or above (England and Wales), working alarms evidenced at move-in, deposit protection and the right prescribed information for your nation. A bundle covers the certificate half of that list in one go.
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.
Can everything be done in one visit?
Often two trades are involved — a Gas Safe engineer for gas, an electrician for the EICR and PAT — so a bundle is commonly one coordinated day or two scheduled visits rather than literally one person. Alarm checks and legionella review can ride along with either.
How do I keep track of renewal dates?
Anchor everything to the annual gas visit, diarise the EICR expiry and EPC expiry when each certificate arrives, and re-check the alarm evidence at every tenancy change. A single spreadsheet per property with four dates covers the core cycle.
