Landlord gas safety certificate in Waltham Forest
Annual gas safety checks for landlords and letting agents in Waltham Forest, 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 Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest’s council page lists three schemes.
- Selective licensing for single-household and two-sharer lets, from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2030, in 20 of the borough’s 22 wards. The council’s page names the two that are excluded.
- Additional HMO licensing across the whole borough for HMOs of 2 or 3 people in two or more households, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030.
- Mandatory HMO licensing for HMOs of 5 or more people in two or more households.
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
Licences carry conditions, which commonly include gas safety, so check your own licence and 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.
