There are stringent Safety Regulations that effect the letting of residential property. These regulations relate to  gas installations, electrical equipment and Fire Safety for furniture and furnishings. Where required we will arrange the necessary inspections and where appropriate obtain the necessary certificate. A member of our Lettings Team will provide further detailed information relating to safety in rented property.

There are mandatory regulations for gas (Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998), electrical equipment (Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994), (Plugs and Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1995) and fire safety (Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1989 (Amended 1993)).

In addition 'The Buildings Regulations 1991' state that all homes built after 1991 must be fitted with mains operated smoke detectors on every floor.
