Health and Safety
We want you to be safe and happy in your new home and we take our responsibilities very seriously. These include obtaining a gas safety certificate annually and providing furniture and furnishings that meet fire safety regulations. We also ensure that owners carry out electrical safety checks on an annual basis in all properties managed by us.
Gas Safety
- Landlords must provide tenants with a valid gas safety certificate to demonstrate that all gas appliances have been tested as safe
- The certificate must be renewed every year
- Testing must be carried out by an engineer registered with the Gas Safe Register
- It must cover all appliances - boiler, gas hob or oven, gas heaters etc.
- We also ensure that all our properties have carbon monoxide detectors
Electrical Safety
It is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that all electrical items supplied in the property are safe and that the electrical supply within your home is also safe. If you notice anything out of the ordinary such as frayed cords, overheating plugs etc. don't use the appliances and inform us immediately.
Fire Safety
Any furniture or furnishings that a landlord is supplying as part of the let should conform to current fire regulations. All our properties are fitted with smoke alarms and it is your responsibility to ensure that they work and that batteries are replaced as necessary.
