Landlord Safety Checklist – Local Coventry Electricians

As a landlord, it's crucial to comply with legal requirements and ensure your property is safe for tenants. There are ten essential checks that you must carry out to meet these obligations.

Firstly, it’s mandatory to install a fully operational fire detection system according to the Domestic Fire Alarm Regulations. You must ensure that alarms are in working order at the start of each new tenancy.

Secondly, all electrical equipment you provide to tenants must be safe and properly maintained. You must arrange for Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) to be carried out by a qualified tester with the appropriate equipment.

Thirdly, to identify any wiring or accessory damage, your rental property in England must have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This is necessary to comply with relevant safety regulations.

Fourthly, you must conduct a Visual Inspection Report (VIR) to identify any visible defects, damage, or deterioration in the fuse board and all accessories such as sockets and switches. This inspection ensures there are no signs of modification or alterations during the tenancy period.

Fifthly, an energy performance certificate is required whenever a property is rented, built, or sold. It provides useful information about energy usage, costs, and suggestions for reducing energy use.

Sixthly, you must ensure all gas appliances and flues have an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You must provide records of checks to tenants within 28 days of the test and new tenants at the start of their tenancy.

Seventhly, in furnished properties, you must ensure that furniture and upholstery are either manufactured from fire-resistant materials or treated with fire retardant coatings by the manufacturer. Additionally, you must install carbon monoxide detectors in any room used as a living area where solid fuel is in use, and encourage alarms in rooms with gas appliances.

Eighthly, you must provide adequate heating and insulation, ensuring there are no broken doors and windows. A property that cannot be maintained between 18oC and 21oC at a reasonable cost to the occupier is classed as a cold home.

Ninthly, damp and mould can cause serious health issues to tenants, so you must combat it through repairs or changes to the property’s structure or exterior. Adequate ventilation is also essential to prevent damp.

Lastly, you can consider using a service provider such as Coventry emergency electricians to carry out electrical testing and inspection services. They cover four of the ten checks mentioned, and their SAFE Certified package combines three services in one appointment, providing savings of over £100 per property. By carrying out these ten essential checks, you’ll ensure that your property is safe and meets legal requirements, making it an ideal home for your tenants.
