Property Licensing in Hackney and Your Gas Safety Certificate
Hackney’s licensing position includes mandatory HMO licensing, borough-wide additional HMO licensing and selective licensing across 17 wards.
Verify: confirm each scheme’s status on the Hackney council page before publishing.
Check the property’s exact address and licence requirements. Where gas is supplied, HMO, additional and selective licences carry the Housing Act 2004 Schedule 4 condition to produce the annual gas safety certificate on demand. See property licensing across London.
Mandatory HMO licensing
borough-wide for large HMOs with five or more occupants from two or more households; the current scope applies from 1 October 2018.
Additional HMO licensing
borough-wide, running from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2031.
Selective licensing
covers 17 wards, including Dalston, Hackney Wick and Stoke Newington, from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2031.
Rented Homes in Hackney
Private renting accounted for 32.2% of Hackney households in the 2021 Census, up from 29.0% in 2011, with converted flats and shared houses prominent.
Victorian terraces and Georgian pockets in De Beauvoir Town, Clapton Square and Stoke Newington include homes subdivided into flats. Hackney Wick and Homerton also have interwar and post-war estates, while newer apartments and warehouse conversions feature around Hackney Wick and the Olympic Park fringe.
The appliances determine the check required. Homes with landlord gas appliances need the annual record; a building’s age or appearance does not establish its heating arrangements.
Gas Safety Services for Hackney Landlords
We provide annual checks, combined boiler servicing and checks for licensed properties and portfolios in Hackney.
We also offer gas safety checks for homeowners and buyers.
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Hackney
The annual Landlord Gas Safety Record covers every landlord gas appliance and flue, including boilers, cookers, hobs and fires. Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days and new tenants a copy before moving in. Keep records until two further checks. See our landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) service.
CP12 and Boiler Service Together in Hackney
Combine the safety check with a boiler service following the manufacturer’s schedule in one visit. These remain two distinct activities: servicing does not replace the annual check for a Hackney rental. The CP12 records the safety check; confirm service documentation when booking.
HMO and Licensed Property Gas Safety in Hackney
Hackney’s shared houses and licensed rentals need records covering the landlord’s gas appliances and flues. The Housing Act 2004 Schedule 4 licence condition requires the annual gas safety certificate on demand. Have the licence details and full appliance list ready when booking.
Letting Agents and Portfolios in Hackney
For a portfolio of Hackney conversions or shared houses, track each property’s renewal deadline separately. Plan early checks within the two months before each deadline under regulation 36A, and arrange tenant access before the appointment. Supply appliance details for each address. See our service for.
Gas Safety Enforcement in Hackney
Hackney’s property licensing conditions make a current, genuine gas safety record part of a licensed landlord’s compliance evidence. Hackney Council also states that it carries out annual gas safety checks for its own tenants.
Check the attending engineer’s Gas Safe registration and relevant appliance categories, then compare their details with the record. The register verifies engineers rather than storing every CP12. Our guide explains how to check a gas safety certificate and verify an engineer.
What Is Changing for Hackney Landlords
The licensing change dated 1 May 2026 extends selective licensing to 17 wards and introduces a new borough-wide additional HMO scheme. The previous additional scheme ended in September 2023. Landlords should check whether their address now needs a licence and keep the annual gas safety record available alongside their licensing documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the gas safety certificate for my licensed Hackney HMO the same as a boiler service?
No, the annual gas safety check and boiler service are separate activities. Regulation 36 requires the landlord’s safety check and record, while servicing follows the boiler manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. A licensed HMO must also have its current gas safety certificate available to meet the licence condition.
Can I combine a CP12 and boiler service in Dalston or Stoke Newington and book early?
Yes, you can book both activities in one visit and arrange the safety check early. Under regulation 36A, a check completed within the two months before the existing deadline keeps that deadline. Have the previous record ready so the renewal timing can be established.
Does a landlord in Hackney Wick need a licence and a gas safety record?
Hackney Wick ward is included in the 17-ward selective scheme, but the licence required depends on the exact address and occupancy. Check the borough boundary around Fish Island. The annual gas safety duty applies where the rental has landlord gas appliances, independently of its licensing position.
Do I need a gas safety certificate if my Hackney property has no licence?
Yes, if your rented property has landlord gas appliances and flues, regulation 36 requires their annual safety check and record. An exemption from property licensing does not remove that duty. Give tenants their copies within the required timescales and retain records until two further checks.
How early can I renew in Hackney without losing the expiry date?
You can complete the check within the two months before the existing deadline and retain that deadline under regulation 36A. This is an early-check window, not a grace period after expiry. Keep the previous record available and arrange access before the current deadline passes.
