Stay Legal. Stay Profitable. Stay Stress-Free.
Let’s be honest: UK landlord compliance is a minefield.
Gas safety, EICRs, EPCs, smoke alarms, licensing, deposit protection — and it never stops.
But compliance isn’t just red tape — it’s the difference between:
- ✅ Getting paid vs. rent repayment orders
- ✅ Selling smoothly vs. sales falling through
- ✅ Managing a profitable portfolio vs. racking up fines
Here’s what you need to know — and how Neon Property Services can make your life 10x easier.
🧾 The Legal Compliance Checklist (You Must Have in Place)
Whether you manage one flat or ten, these are non-negotiables in UK lettings law:
✅ 1. Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) — Annually
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must have a valid CP12 renewed every 12 months.
📍 Penalty: Up to £6,000 + criminal prosecution
📌 Neon tracks this automatically and books the check for you.
✅ 2. EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) — Every 5 Years
Since April 2021, all rental properties must have an EICR, with a copy provided to tenants.
📊 68% of landlords weren’t aware this applied to renewed tenancies too (Propertymark, 2022).
📌 With Neon ProManage™, our system alerts you 60 days before expiry.
✅ 3. EPC — Rating of E or Higher
You need a valid EPC to let or sell. As of 2025 (proposed), a minimum rating of C may become mandatory for new tenancies.
📌 We help you improve your rating AND document it properly — no risk, no fuss.
✅ 4. Smoke & CO Alarms
You must have:
- A smoke alarm on every floor
- A carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a gas boiler or solid fuel source
- Evidence that you tested them on the first day of tenancy
📍 Up to £5,000 fines for non-compliance.
📌 Neon logs every test and tenant signature into your digital property file.
✅ 5. Fire Risk Assessment (Especially for Blocks or HMOs)
If you own a flat or manage a block (or HMO), you’re legally responsible for:
- Fire risk assessments
- Escape route signage
- Safe common areas
- Landlord insurance aligned with risk factors
📌 We coordinate fire risk assessments and notify directors or leaseholders of actions.
✅ 6. Deposit Protection + Prescribed Info
You must protect the deposit within 30 days and serve:
- Prescribed Information
- Scheme certificate
- Terms of the tenancy
⚠️ Miss this and you can’t serve a Section 21 — and could owe tenants up to 3x the deposit in penalties.
📌 Neon verifies every protection + info packet — or resolves it fast if your last agent dropped the ball.
😰 What Happens If You Miss Something?
- £3,000–£6,000 fines (per breach)
- Rent repayment orders (up to 12 months rent back to the tenant)
- Refused mortgage refinancing or failed sales
- Court orders, local authority inspections, and even bans from letting
