What is a CP12 certificate?
"CP12" is the name landlords and letting agents commonly use for the Landlord Gas Safety Record — the official document confirming that every gas appliance, flue and fitting in a rental property has passed a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The name comes from an older industry form reference, but the certificate itself is the same legal record required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
In Formby, as everywhere else in the UK, a valid CP12 is a legal requirement for any property let with gas appliances, and it must be renewed every 12 months.
