CPS Homes

Annual gas safety certificates just £40 plus VAT

Gas FlameAs Cardiff’s largest property management agencies for private rented homes, we’re very much aware of the importance in ensuring a property’s gas appliances are certified as safe for tenants.

A landlord’s legal obligation

Landlords have a legal responsibility to ensure that every gas appliance is checked annually by a registered Gas Safe engineer, in line with the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998. Breaching these regulations may result in a heavy fine and/or custodial sentence, so it’s vital that the certificate is renewed promptly each year.

How CPS Homes can help

As a managing agent, we’re able to relieve landlords of the hassle that often comes with arranging new certificates. After all, for many landlords it’s not just a new Gas Safety Certificate that needs to be done each year, it’s also an Electrical Safety Certificate, a Fire Safety Certificate, a Legionella Risk Assessment, and so on and so forth.

As the largest manager of private rented homes in Cardiff, we’re able to arrange Gas Safety Certificates at a heavily-discounted price of £40 + VAT due to our buying power with local contractors. We’re also able to;

  • Automatically renew certificates when they’re due to expire;
  • Liaise with both tenant and contractor to ensure access for the certificate to be produced;
  • Keep electronic and hard copies of each certificate;
  • Arrange quick and cost-effective remedial work, if required;
  • Provide the certificates to Cardiff Council and tenants, if and when necessary.

We can also help you ensure you're ready for the new Rent Smart Wales landlord registration and licensing scheme.
