The Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate is the responsibility of the landlord therefore it is advisable to arrange for one upon an initial instruction from a new tenant, or when there has been a change of tenancy.

The safety check summary includes a record of gas safety checks and their outcomes. It should be completed as soon as possible and when no defects are found.
Landlords should add any relevant documentation if the record needs to be supplemented. The record is a comprehensive document; property managers should complete it with records of any actions taken (if required). That should provide a complete log of the gas safety throughout the property.
You shouldn’t assume that an annual service inspection includes the points required by a security inspection, nor should you assume that performing an annual gas safety check will be sufficient to have completed maintenance. Consult a competent Gas Safe registered engineer’s advice before deciding.
