1. Property compliance in Central London
Central London brings a particular set of compliance challenges. Mansion blocks and mixed-use buildings often have shared gas and electrical systems, communal areas that require fire risk assessments, and strict access arrangements through managing agents or porters. Many landlords here own leasehold flats within larger blocks, so understanding where the landlord’s responsibility begins and ends is important — we help clarify exactly what your certificate needs to cover. Parking, congestion and access restrictions also make efficient scheduling essential, which is why Central London landlords value a single provider who can complete gas, electrical and EPC work in one well-planned visit.
Who is responsible for certificates in a Central London mansion block?
As the landlord of your leasehold flat you are responsible for safety within your demise, while communal systems are usually the freeholder’s responsibility. We help clarify exactly what your certificate must cover.
Do communal areas in Central London blocks need a fire risk assessment?
Blocks of flats require a fire risk assessment for their communal areas. We can assess your property and communal spaces and advise on what is required.
2. Landlord safety certificates we provide across Central 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 Central 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 Central London, this is a common requirement here.
