What is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A Gas Safety Certificate, formally known as a CP12, is a document confirming that all gas appliances, flues and pipework in a rental property have been inspected by a Gas Safe Registered engineer and found to be safe. The engineer checks each appliance for correct operation, adequate ventilation, secure flue connections and correct gas pressure, and lists every appliance on the certificate along with its result.
Every private landlord in England has been legally required to hold a valid CP12 and renew it every 12 months since the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 came into force. This national duty applies in Croydon as it does across England, and an HMO licence can add its own conditions on top.
Gas safety in Croydon — local property context
Houses outnumber flats in Croydon. At the 2021 Census, 24.7% of households lived in semi-detached houses, 23.3% in terraces and 12.2% in detached houses, against 29.0% in purpose-built flats and 8.5% in flats in converted or shared houses. By build date, 23.5% of council tax properties are from 1919 to 1939 and 25.7% from 1945 to 1982 (VOA 2025).
The council estimates that 31.2% of Croydon's housing stock is privately rented. The 2021 Census counted households instead and found 25.8% renting privately, below London's 30.0%. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are experienced with the boilers, gas fires and appliances typically found in properties across the CR0, CR2, CR7, SE25, CR8, CR5, SE19, SW16 postcode areas, and regularly carry out CP12 inspections across Croydon for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.
