Most surveyors and solicitors will advise clients
to have gas installation tested before buying a property.
Shropshire Gas engineers carry out gas safety inspections
and certification for landlords who are buying or selling
property. The procedure and certificate is in the same statutory
form as used for landlord's certification. It includes inspection
of all gas appliances, meter and visible pipe work to confirm
compliance with regulations and safe operation.
The safety inspection will detail:
 |
The date the appliance
or flue was examined and the address where the appliance
is installed. |
|
|
|
The prospective purchasers
details (name and address). |
|
|
|
Description and location
of the appliances and/or flue. |
|
|
|
Recognition of and recording
of any defects. |
|
|
|
The name and signature
of the gas operative and the CORGI registration number
of the engineer of their employer. |
The following checks will be carried
out to ensure the appliance is safe to use:
|
Appliance operating
pressure or heat input, or where necessary both. |
|
|
|
Correct operation of
safety devices. |
|
|
|
Ensure adequate ventilation
is available where required. |
|
|
|
Visual examination of
the flue system. |
|
|
|
Where applicable, results
of a flue flow test. |
|
|
|
Where applicable, results
of a spillage test. |
|
|
|
Ensure flue termination
is satisfactory. |
|
|
On completion of the safety checks the
Shropshire Gas engineer will accurately record the findings
on the Landlord/Homeowner Gas Safety Record. This creates
a certificate, which is a useful tool for sellers as it removes
any doubt a purchaser may have about the on-going suitability
of the gas installation.
