Property Licensing in Richmond upon Thames and Your Gas Safety Certificate
Richmond upon Thames had mandatory HMO licensing only at the 5 October 2026 licensing review.
Verify: each scheme’s status on the Richmond upon Thames council page before publishing.
Where gas is supplied, the Housing Act 2004 Schedule 4 licence condition requires an annual gas safety certificate to be produced to the council on demand. Unlicensed rentals with landlord gas appliances still need annual checks. See property licensing across London.
Mandatory HMO licensing
borough-wide statutory scheme for qualifying HMOs with five or more people from two or more households.
Additional licensing
none recorded; no immediate plans reported.
Selective licensing
none designated or proposed in that review.
Rented Homes in Richmond upon Thames
Private renting accounted for 24.7% of Richmond upon Thames households in 2021, up from 21.8% in 2011, within a borough of period homes and interwar housing.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas characterise its town centres, while Whitton includes substantial 1930s semi-detached housing. For a rental’s check, start with its appliance list: include gas cooking appliances and fires as well as the boiler. In homes with communal heating, confirm whether any individual gas appliances remain.

Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Richmond upon Thames
The annual check covers every landlord gas appliance and flue, including boilers, cookers, hobs and fires. Give existing tenants the record within 28 days and new tenants a copy before move-in. Keep records until two further checks. Richmond’s single lets need this too:
CP12 and Boiler Service Together in Richmond upon Thames
Combine the safety check with a boiler service following the manufacturer’s schedule in one visit. These are distinct activities: keep the Landlord Gas Safety Record and the boiler service record for their separate purposes. For Richmond rentals with a gas boiler, book.
HMO and Licensed Property Gas Safety in Richmond upon Thames
For Richmond’s mandatory licensed HMOs where gas is supplied, Housing Act 2004 Schedule 4 requires the annual certificate to be produced on demand. Include landlord-provided gas appliances in shared kitchens and other rooms when preparing the appliance list. Arrange access throughout the property.
Letting Agents and Portfolios in Richmond upon Thames
For Richmond rental portfolios, track each property’s renewal deadline and arrange tenant access before booking. Schedule early checks within the two months before each deadline under regulation 36A to preserve the annual date. Provide the appliance list and current record for each address. See services for.
Gas Safety Enforcement in Richmond upon Thames
A Richmond rental needs a genuine record supported by a check from a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Check the engineer’s ID, registration and appliance categories, then compare the record’s address, inspection date and appliance list with the property. Registration verifies the engineer; it does not authenticate every document. See how to check a gas safety certificate and verify an engineer.
What Is Changing for Richmond upon Thames Landlords
The planned heat-pump homes at Ham Close change the need for gas checks where homes have no gas appliances. Treat the 2026-onwards handovers as planned changes, rather than proof that an individual property has changed heating. Continue arranging checks wherever landlord gas appliances remain in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Teddington Riverside flat has underfloor heating: do I need a CP12 or boiler service?
Underfloor heating alone does not tell you whether either is needed. Confirm the flat’s heat source and gas appliances. If it has no gas appliances, it needs no CP12 for the flat; a retained gas hob still needs checking. A gas boiler service requires an actual gas boiler.
Who arranges the annual gas safety check in Richmond’s former council homes?
The current landlord arranges the check for landlord-provided gas appliances. For housing association tenants, contact the housing provider about access and the record. If you own a former council flat and let it privately, arrange the checks for your tenancy rather than assuming another landlord’s programme covers it.
Will the new Ham Close homes need gas safety certificates or boiler servicing?
A new home with only heat-pump heating and no gas appliances needs neither a CP12 nor a gas boiler service. The planned Ham Close homes use air source heat pumps, but confirm the appliances at the individual address. Existing occupied homes with landlord gas appliances still require annual checks.
Do I need a gas safety certificate if my Richmond upon Thames property has no licence?
Yes, if your rented property has landlord-provided gas appliances or flues, the annual check duty applies regardless of licensing. Regulation 36 covers those appliances and flues. Richmond’s mandatory-only licensing position does not exempt ordinary single lets from gas safety checks or the requirement to give tenants their record.
How early can I renew without losing the expiry date?
You can complete the check in the two months before the existing deadline and retain that deadline under regulation 36A. Give the engineer the previous record so the dates can be checked. This is an early-check window, not a grace period after the deadline.
