Leicester’s Landlord
Compliance Specialists

Requirements depend on the property and its appliances. Common obligations include an annual gas safety check where relevant, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and appropriate smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Some properties also require licensing or additional assessments. CRS Matrix can help landlords identify and arrange the checks relevant to their property.

For rented properties with relevant gas appliances or flues, a gas safety check is generally required every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A copy of the record must also be provided to tenants within the applicable timescales. We can arrange gas safety checks and boiler servicing in one visit where suitable.

Private landlords in England generally need the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report specifies a shorter interval. An EICR records the condition of the installation and identifies any issues requiring attention.

An unsatisfactory EICR identifies electrical safety issues that need action. Depending on the findings, landlords may need remedial work or further investigation within the applicable legal timescale, generally 28 days or sooner if specified. We can explain the observations, quote for remedial work and provide the appropriate follow-up documentation.

C1 means danger is present and immediate action is required. C2 means potentially dangerous and urgent remedial action is needed. FI means further investigation is required without delay. C3 is an improvement recommendation and does not, by itself, make an EICR unsatisfactory.

Yes. Where practical, we can carry out the annual Gas Safety Check and boiler service during the same appointment. Electrical inspections such as EICRs are arranged separately so the engineer has the time needed for proper testing.

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is not automatically required annually for every private rental property in England. Landlords should ensure that electrical equipment they supply is safe. PAT testing can help document checks on supplied appliances, particularly where risk assessments, licensing conditions or management policies call for it.

Landlords have responsibilities to assess and control the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria. A written assessment is not automatically required in every domestic letting, but documenting a proportionate risk assessment can be useful. CRS Matrix offers Legionella risk assessments for rental properties.
