Landlord Certificates & Compliance in Preston

Keeping on top of landlord certificate renewals is one of the most important — and most time-consuming — aspects of property compliance. A lapsed gas safety certificate or an outdated EPC can invalidate a Section 21 notice, expose you to financial penalties, and in the case of a gas leak, put your tenants' lives at risk. Our landlord certificates and compliance service takes this entirely off your hands for properties across Preston and the PR1 postcode area.

We maintain a compliance calendar for every property we manage, tracking the expiry date of every certificate and instructing our network of approved contractors to carry out the relevant inspection or test with sufficient notice before the deadline. You'll never receive a panicked call from a tenant about an expired gas safety certificate — because it simply won't happen.

The certificates we coordinate include: annual gas safety inspections by a Gas Safe registered engineer; electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) required every 5 years for rental properties; energy performance certificates (EPCs) required at the start of every tenancy and currently required to meet a minimum E rating (with upcoming changes likely to require a minimum C rating from 2028); portable appliance testing (PAT) for any appliances provided by the landlord; and legionella risk assessments where required.

We also ensure that all certificates are correctly issued and served on tenants within the required timeframe. The prescribed information for the deposit, the How to Rent guide, gas safety certificate, and EPC must all be provided to the tenant at the start of the tenancy — failure to do so can prevent you from serving a valid Section 21 notice.

For landlords with multiple properties in Preston, we maintain a central compliance record accessible through your online portal, giving you complete visibility of every certificate across your portfolio at any time.
