When investing in a new property, you can’t always be sure when the appliances and pipework in the building were last serviced and checked, but it does not need to be that way. Before parting with your money, ensure that the property is gas safe with this checklist of tips provided by Gas Safe Register:
+ Ask the vendor for the property’s Gas Safety Record. This will show when a Gas Safe registered professional checked the property’s gas appliances and installation pipework.
+ If they are unsure about this, you have the law on your side. Under the Building Regulations act, local authorities must be informed about the installation of heat producing gas appliances in a home. It’s a seller’s responsibility to have a copy of the Building Regulations certificate.
