Hello all . First time landlord. I'm renting out my new(ish) build house (4.5 years old) to friends. It is Still under the NHBC 10 year warranty. Am I legally obliged to provide a gas and electricity safety certificates?
Note: Boiler is serviced/insured. Note: No issues with gas / electricity at all.
Thank you
Yes.
Electricity - a valid ECIR is required, you may have a valid one from when your place was built
Gas - you need a new one every year which means you don't have one if you have to ask.
If the house as as you describe, it'll pass both with flying colours.
Yes.
Gas - 12 months
Electric - 5 years
With many gas boiler breakdown plans you get a yearly certificate. It’s not the cheapest option but it means you can sleep soundly knowing if something goes bang it’ll be fixed quickly and you don’t have to think a lot the certificate each year
