While gas safety may seem like just another regulatory burden for buy-to-let landlords, there are very important reasons for mandatory annual gas inspections.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Faulty gas appliances can leak dangerous carbon monoxide gas, which causes poisoning that leads to serious illness or even death. Regular safety checks are vital to identify risks before this odourless gas can build up.

Poorly maintained or damaged gas pipework and appliances also increase the risk of gas leaks, which can lead to fires or deadly explosions. Only a qualified engineer can detect potential hazards.

Landlords must arrange an annual gas safety inspection under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failing to provide a valid Landlord Gas Safety Record can lead to fines of up to £6,000.
