The law requires that all appliances are safe & strongly recommends that everything should be independently tested.
Duty of care demands that all electrical appliances are tested on a regular basis, particularly at the point at which the property becomes available to let.
The Electrical Equipment (safety) Regulations 1994 and The Plugs and Sockets Etc. (safety) Regulations 1994 state that supplying unsafe appliances is an offence. In the event of an accident involving electricity the Landlord must be able to demonstrate that the supply and appliances are safe. This can only be done if they have been independently tested.
The Gas Safety (installation & use) Regulations 1998 state that all let & managed properties must be tested annually for safety. Only Gas Safe registered businesses with Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) qualified engineers are authorised to carry out work on gas appliances and piping.
We recommend only fully qualified contractors to carryout electrical and gas safety checks, and we are happy to handle this on your behalf.
We recommend battery operated smoke alarms are installed, once installed responsibility for replacement batteries passes to the tenant.
Failure to comply with regulations can result in large fines, and in extreme cases, imprisonment.
