Landlord Compliance Bundle in Sittingbourne
Arrange a Landlord Compliance Bundle for your Sittingbourne rental without the ring-around: we confirm price and availability, the certificate arrives digitally, and the renewal date is tracked for you.
Straight answer
A landlord compliance bundle books the recurring certificates together — the annual gas safety record, the 5-yearly EICR where the nation requires it, the EPC when due, and alarm checks — instead of piecemeal. For a rental in Sittingbourne, that means fewer visits, aligned renewal dates, and one organised file of documents.
Booking
Booking in three steps
We're building coverage in Sittingbourne 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.
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 Swale Borough 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; Swale Borough Council is the local housing authority for Sittingbourne.
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.
For landlords in Sittingbourne
Letting in Sittingbourne: the practical points
Portfolio landlords in Sittingbourne feel the bundle effect most: one calendar across properties, one document standard, one renewal rhythm — and when Swale Borough Council, a lender or a buyer asks for the compliance position, the answer is a folder, not a fortnight of phone calls.
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.
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.
FAQ
Landlord Compliance Bundle questions, answered
What needs redoing when tenants change?
Alarms must be shown working at the start of the new tenancy (England), the new tenant needs copies of the gas record, EICR and EPC, and a void period is the natural moment to flush water systems and review the legionella assessment. The certificates themselves stay valid to their own expiry dates.
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 extra does an HMO in Sittingbourne need?
Whatever Swale Borough Council's licence conditions specify on top of the basics — commonly fire doors and precautions, higher-grade interlinked alarm systems, PAT testing of supplied appliances, and periodic evidence submissions. The licence schedule is the definitive extras list.
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.
What's the combined exposure if certificates lapse?
Each regime carries its own enforcement: unlimited fines for gas offences, up to £30,000 per EICR breach in England, up to £5,000 per MEES or alarm breach — plus blocked Section 21 notices in England and licensing consequences. Lapses tend to compound, which is the case for tracking renewals together.
