Certificate due date calculator
Choose the check and give the day it was done. The calculator gives the day the next one is due and the days to be reminded.
In short: For a let home in England a gas safety check is needed every 12 months, an electrical report (EICR) at least every 5 years and an energy performance certificate (EPC) lasts 10 years. The date written on the certificate is the one that counts.
Nothing you type here is sent or kept.
Choose the certificate and give the day it was done to see when the next one is due.
How long each one lasts
- Gas safety record: every 12 months for a let home with gas. A copy goes to the tenant within 28 days of the check, and to a new tenant before they move in.
- Electrical report (EICR): at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. A copy goes to the tenant within 28 days.
- Energy performance certificate (EPC): lasts 10 years. A let home needs a rating of E or better unless an exemption is registered.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have no expiry date: they are checked on the first day of each tenancy.
- A fire risk assessment, a legionella assessment and appliance tests have no fixed period in law: the lengths here are the common practice.
- An HMO or selective licence usually runs for up to 5 years: the licence itself gives the date.
