Gas Safety Checks
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
An up to date EPC gives a prospective tenant information on how energy efficient your property is. Landlords have to meet certain obligations set out by the Government to provide an Energy Performance Certificate, free of charge for a new tenant. Failure to do so may result in a hefty fine being levied.
Call us to arrange an EPC on a property today and a trained assessor will make the
arrangements to visit the property to carry out the inspection.
We offer this service from £72 inclusive of VAT
As from the 1st April 2018 there will be a requirement for any properties rented out in the private rented sector to normally have a minimum energy performance rating of E on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The regulations will come into force for new lets and renewals of tenancies with effect from 1st April 2018 and for all existing tenancies on 1t April 2020. It will be unlawful to rent a property, which breaches the requirement for a minimum E rating, unless there is an application exemption. A civil penalty of up to £4000 will be imposed for breaches
Electrical Safety
The Government has now published “The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020” meaning landlords must ensure 5 yearly electrical checks are carried out for all new tenancies in England from 1st July 2020 or from 1st April 2021 for existing tenancies. Please see the following link for further information http://www.
We can arrange this for you at cost of £180 inclusive of VAT
Legionella
The law is clear that if you are a Landlord and rent out your property (or even a room within your own home) then you have legal responsibilities to ensure the health and safety of your tenant by keeping the property safe and free from health hazards.
We offer this assessment for £60.00 inclusive of VAT
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
From the 1st October 2015 regulations require smoke alarms to be installed in rented residential accommodation and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a solid fuel appliance. Changes are also made to the licence requirements in relation to houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), such as shared houses and bedsits, which require a licence and also in relation to properties, which are subject to selective licensing. The Regulations apply both to houses and flats. Failure to comply can lead to a civil penalty being imposed of up to £5,000
All Landlords will also now be obliged to ensure carbon monoxide alarm is installed in any room of their homes where there is a fixed combustion appliance (including a gas boiler). Where a new fixed combustion appliance is installed a carbon monoxide alarm will be required to be installed by Law
These provisions only apply in England; not Wales
Express Let Limited reserves the right to replace any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide alarms that are not in situ or found to be faulty
We can arrange this at a cost of:
- Battery operated smoke alarm: £30 inclusive of VAT
- Mains wired smoke alarm: £72 inclusive of VAT
