Most surveyors and solicitors will advise having the gas installation tested prior to the purchase of a property.
On behalf of Home-Reports UK.com registered CORGI gas engineers will carry out gas safety inspections and certification for home owners or prospective purchasers.
The procedure and certificate is in the same statutory form as used for landlord's certification and includes inspection of all gas appliances, meter and visible pipework.
The safety inspection will detail appliances, flues, ventilation and pipework, to confirm they all comply with regulations and safe operation.
On completion of the above safety checks the gas operative will accurately record the findings on the Landlord/Homeowner Gas Safety Record.
This certificate is a useful tool for sellers as it removes doubt from the
prospective purchaser as to the suitability of the gas installation for continued
use.
