Rented Homes in Lewisham
Private renting in Lewisham rose from 24.3% of households in 2011 to 27.2% in 2021, according to the Census. Brockley includes Victorian family houses and homes divided into flats. Hither Green’s Corbett Estate has roughly 3,000 Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses.
The appliance list matters more than the building’s age: include every landlord-provided gas appliance when booking. Homes with landlord gas appliances need the annual record; do not assume a flat has its own gas boiler.
Gas Safety Services for Lewisham Landlords
We offer annual checks, combined boiler servicing and checks for licensed homes and managed portfolios.
We also provide gas safety checks for homeowners and buyers.
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Lewisham
The annual check covers every landlord gas appliance and flue, including boilers, cookers, hobs and fires. Give existing tenants their record within 28 days and new tenants before move-in. Keep records until two further checks have taken place. Book landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) for licensed and unlicensed Lewisham rentals.
CP12 and Boiler Service Together in Lewisham
Combine the safety check with a boiler service following the manufacturer’s schedule. These are distinct activities: servicing maintains the boiler and does not replace the annual check of landlord gas appliances and flues. For a Lewisham rental needing both, arrange.
HMO and Licensed Property Gas Safety in Lewisham
Lewisham’s HMO and selective licensing schemes add a requirement to produce the annual gas safety certificate on demand under Housing Act 2004 Schedule 4. Keep it available with your licence paperwork, and include landlord appliances in shared kitchens. Arrange HMO and licensed property gas safety checks.
Letting Agents and Portfolios in Lewisham
Track each property’s renewal deadline and arrange tenant access before booking. Regulation 36A allows early checks within the two months before each deadline while preserving it. For portfolios spanning Lewisham’s different licensing areas, keep each record matched to its address. See services for.
Gas Safety Enforcement in Lewisham
Lewisham’s gas safety history shows why landlords must act on unsafe findings. On 5 September 2023, the Housing Ombudsman found maladministration in the council’s handling of a boiler after an unsafe-appliance warning notice.
A record documents findings; a warning notice identifies unsafe conditions and precautions. Landlords must arrange remedial work with a Gas Safe registered engineer. Verify the engineer’s registration and appliance qualifications, then compare the record’s details. See how to check a gas safety certificate and verify an engineer.
What Is Changing for Lewisham Landlords
The additional HMO scheme’s scheduled end on 4 April 2027 is the next licensing date highlighted here. Check the council’s position. A scheme ending would not remove the annual gas safety duty for rented homes with landlord gas appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my shared student house near Goldsmiths in New Cross need a CP12 and a boiler service?
You need the annual CP12 where you provide gas appliances. A boiler service is maintenance and does not replace the check. For a shared student house, check which Lewisham HMO licensing scheme applies to its occupancy.
What gas paperwork does my selectively licensed Forest Hill or Sydenham rental need?
You need an annual Landlord Gas Safety Record for landlord gas appliances and flues, available for the council on demand. Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days and new tenants before move-in. A boiler service does not replace this record or the annual safety check.
Do I need a gas safety certificate if my Lewisham property has no licence?
Yes, regulation 36 applies to rented homes with landlord gas appliances whether or not the property needs a licence. A licensing exemption does not remove the annual check or tenant-copy duties. Include every landlord gas appliance and flue when arranging the check.
How early can I renew in Lewisham without losing the expiry date?
You can have the check in the two months before the deadline and retain the original annual deadline under regulation 36A. This is an early-check window, not a grace period after expiry. Use the current record’s deadline to plan access and book the visit.
