Track CP12 status by property
Store certificate dates against the property, not in a disconnected spreadsheet. Each property can show whether the Gas Safety record is current, approaching renewal, missing, or expired.
Gas Safety reminders
Never lose sight of a Gas Safety renewal date
Apex Heritage helps landlords record Gas Safety certificate details, attach supporting documents, and see renewal status alongside the rest of the property compliance picture.
Keep evidence close to the reminder
Upload the certificate and keep the document linked to the tenancy and property context. When you need to check what was shared or renewed, the record is in the same workspace as the reminder.
Manage Gas Safety with the wider tenancy workflow
Gas Safety is only one part of landlord compliance. Apex Heritage also helps with EPC, EICR, deposit documentation, tenant documents, and ongoing repairs so renewal work does not sit in isolation.

Common questions
How often must a Gas Safety check be carried out for a rental property?
Every 12 months. Landlords in England are legally required to have gas appliances, fittings, and flues inspected and tested annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
What is a CP12 certificate?
A CP12 is the Gas Safety Record — the formal document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after each annual inspection. It confirms that gas appliances and pipework have been checked and records any safety concerns. 'CP12' comes from the CORGI form historically used for the check.
Who can legally carry out a Gas Safety check?
Only engineers registered with the Gas Safe Register. You can check a specific engineer or company on the Gas Safe Register website. Using an unregistered person to inspect or work on gas appliances is illegal.
Do I need to give my tenant a copy of the Gas Safety certificate?
Yes. Landlords must give existing tenants a copy of the Gas Safety Record within 28 days of each annual check. New tenants must receive a copy before they move in. Failing to provide the record is a criminal offence and can also affect the validity of any section 21 notice (now abolished) and may affect possession proceedings.
What happens if my Gas Safety certificate expires?
Once the 12-month period lapses, the property is non-compliant. You cannot legally let the property with an expired certificate. It may also invalidate landlord insurance, affect your mortgage lender's requirements, and expose you to criminal prosecution and fines.
