Landlords should be aware of the Health and Safety legislation currently in force regarding the periodic testing of gas and electrical circuits and appliances; in fact, anything that may pose a threat to your tenants. Ignorance of the law is no defence, and Landlords can be held liable for their failure to carry out periodic maintenance and periodic testing on gas and electrical appliances and installations.
We can help you create a schedule of maintenance procedures, including periodic testing, portable appliance testing (PAT) and Landlord’s Act compliant electrical certification and gas safety certification to meet current legislation.
If you wish to let your apartment on a fully furnished basis then please refer to the act as follows:
The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 1 (as amended in 1989 2 and 1993 3 ) set levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery.
