1. Property compliance in West London
West London’s rental market is one of the most diverse in the capital. Ealing and Brent have some of the highest HMO densities in London, which brings mandatory licensing conditions and fire safety obligations on top of the usual gas and electrical requirements. Meanwhile, Hammersmith & Fulham and parts of Chiswick are dominated by higher-value period conversions where careful, professional inspection matters to both landlords and tenants. Transport corridors and parking restrictions across the area can make coordinating multiple contractors a headache — which is why bundling gas, electrical and EPC into a single visit is especially popular with West London landlords. We handle the logistics so you do not have to.
Why is bundling popular with West London landlords?
Parking and access restrictions across West London make multiple contractor visits costly and time-consuming. Combining gas, electrical and EPC into one visit saves money and reduces tenant disruption.
Do Ealing and Brent HMOs have extra fire safety rules?
Yes. HMOs in these boroughs usually need a fire risk assessment and may carry licensing conditions. We can carry out the FRA alongside your other certificates.
2. Landlord safety certificates we provide across West London
Property Safety Ltd is a London property safety service provider. We carry out every core landlord compliance inspection and issue your certificate once the work is complete. The legal responsibility for compliance stays with you as the landlord (the “Responsible Person”) — our job is to make meeting it simple, accurate and fast. Below are the main certificates West London landlords need.
2.1 Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a legal requirement for any let property with gas appliances, and must be renewed at least every 12 months. Our Gas Safe registered engineers check every appliance, flue and pipe, then issue your CP12 record. Failing to hold a valid certificate is a criminal offence, so keeping this current is one of the most important things a landlord can do.
2.2 EICR (Electrical Safety Certificate)
An EICR confirms your property’s fixed wiring is safe. Private landlords in England must have the installation inspected at least every five years, and provide the report to tenants. Our engineers test to the BS 7671 standard and explain any C1, C2 or C3 codes clearly, so you know exactly what — if anything — needs attention.
2.3 Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
An EPC rates a property’s energy efficiency and is required before you market it to let. It is valid for ten years. With minimum energy standards tightening over the coming years, an up-to-date EPC also helps you plan ahead.
2.4 Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement for HMOs, blocks of flats and commercial premises. We assess fire risks in the property and communal areas and set out the actions needed to keep occupants safe. Given the number of HMOs across West London, this is a common requirement here.
