Landlord gas safety certificate in Tower Hamlets
Annual gas safety checks for landlords and letting agents in Tower Hamlets, with the CP12 price published and a note on local property licensing.
Your gas safety duty as a landlord
A landlord must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months. Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, give new tenants a copy before they move in, and keep your copy for two years. This applies whether or not your property needs a council licence.
Property licensing in Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets’ selective licensing scheme covered the Weavers, Whitechapel and Banglatown & Spitalfields wards. The council’s page says the current scheme ends on 30 September 2026, that no new applications can be made after that date, and that existing licences normally stay valid for five years. The council is considering a future scheme. HMOs are covered by the separate mandatory and additional HMO schemes.
Checked against the council’s own website on 5 November 2026. Schemes, wards and dates change, so confirm the current position with the council before you rely on it.
What licensing means for your gas record
If you hold a licence, it carries conditions that commonly include gas safety, so keep your current record to hand. Licence rules are the council’s to set and enforce, so we cannot confirm what applies to your property.
This is general information, not legal advice. For your own tenancy, ask a solicitor or a landlord association.

Common questions
Do I still need a gas safety certificate if my property is licensed?
Yes. The annual gas safety record is a legal duty for landlords, separate from any licence, and licence conditions commonly ask you to supply it.
Can a letting agent book the check for me?
Yes, with your authority. Make clear who is paying. See gas safety certificates for letting agents.
