What Is a Gas Safety Certificate in Enfield?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), called a Landlord Gas Safety Record, is the record a Gas Safe registered engineer issues after the annual safety check of the gas appliances and flues a landlord provides. In Enfield, the record also supports selective licensing requirements across 17 wards from 1 September 2026, with council letting schemes requiring evidence that the property has passed its gas safety check.
Gas Safety Rules at a Glance
Every 12 months
A Gas Safe-registered engineer performs an annual check under regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
Early renewal
A check in the two months before the due date keeps the original expiry date.
Tenant copies
Existing tenants receive a copy within 28 days. New tenants receive their copy before moving in.
Records
Each record stays on file until two further checks have taken place, covering at least two years.
Is a Gas Safety Certificate a Legal Requirement in Enfield?
Yes, for every Enfield landlord who provides gas appliances. Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 requires landlords to arrange the required gas safety check and retain the resulting record. Selective licensing came into force across 17 wards on 1 September 2026, and borough-wide additional HMO licensing already applies. For most private lets in Enfield, the gas record serves as both a legal duty and licence evidence.
Who Can Issue One and How to Check the Engineer
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can issue a gas safety record. Before work starts, landlords can check the engineer’s registration on the Gas Safe Register to confirm their registration. Landlords can also check ALC’s engineer details before arranging an appointment.
Why Gas Safety Compliance Works Differently in Enfield
Enfield’s selective licensing scheme began on 1 September 2026 across 17 wards and runs to 31 August 2031. Its earlier licensing scheme was quashed by the High Court in 2014 over consultation issues. Five things make gas safety compliance in Enfield different:
What Makes Enfield Gas Compliance Different
1
Selective licensing covers 17 wards
The scheme covers 17 wards and applies to private homes let to one or two people or a single-family household. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Source: Enfield Council.
2
Enfield has a licensing history
Enfield’s first borough-wide licensing scheme was quashed by the High Court in 2014. The court found issues with the consultation process, so the planned 2015 scheme never began.
3
Council schemes require gas records
Enfield Council uses Housing Gateway, Enfield Let, Find Your Own Home and its Landlord Incentive Scheme to source private rented homes. These schemes require a valid gas safety record, and Enfield Let's require a certificate confirming the property has passed.
4
Private renting has grown
Private rented households rose from 22.2% in 2 011 to 29.3% in 2021, an increase of 7.1% points. London recorded a 4.9% point rise during the same period. Source: ONS Census 2021, E09000010.
5
Location affects licensing
Licensing coverage follows the borough’s geography. Designation One covers eastern wards and the Lee Valley. Cockfosters, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill and Bush Hill Park remain outside both designations.
Enfield Facts
- 17 wards: Selective licensing runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031.
- 29.3%: Private rented households in 2021, up from 22.2% in 2011.
- 2014: Enfield’s first borough-wide licensing scheme was quashed by the High Court.
How Gas Safety Checks Work for Enfield Landlords
Getting the Record Into a Licence Application
Enfield’s selective licensing scheme began on 1 September 2026. A CP12 landlord certificate Enfield forms part of the licence file alongside the EICR, but it does not grant the licence. A regulation 36A check within two months before the due date keeps the original expiry date and leaves the record current for the application.
Letting to Enfield Council
Enfield Council sources private homes through Housing Gateway, Enfield Let, Find Your Own Home and its Landlord Incentive Scheme. Enfield Let requires the certificate to state that the property has passed. A record with an unresolved defect does not meet this requirement. After remedial work, a fresh Gas compliance certificate is issued.
Working Out Which Ward You Are In
Enfield’s ward boundaries changed in 2022. Enfield Highway and Turkey Street no longer exist as ward names, with parts now within Brimsdown, Carterhatch and Whitewebbs. Licensing depends on the property’s ward rather than the postcode alone. Check the current council ward map before using an older licence or ward name.
Our Four Step Process
STEP 1
Book Online or Call
Enter your Enfield postcode and the number of gas appliances. The booking confirms the fixed price before the visit.
Engineer Visit
A Gas Safe registered engineer checks each landlord-provided appliance and flue. The engineer shows their Gas Safe ID on arrival.
STEP 2
Record completed
Each appliance, result and defect goes into the gas safety record. Immediately Dangerous or At Risk classifications are recorded where applicable.
STEP 3
Digital CP12 within 24 hour
The completed CP12 is emailed after the visit. It is ready for a licence application or for giving to the tenant.
STEP 4
What's Checked on an Enfield Gas Safety Check and What Isn't
A gas safety check covers the landlord’s gas appliances, their flues, ventilation, operating pressure, heat input, combustion readings and safety devices. Installation pipework is not part of the annual check, but it remains a separate maintenance duty.
Covered by the gas safety check
NOT covered by the annual check
If the Engineer Finds a Defect
The engineer classifies a fault as immediately dangerous or at risk and records the details on the gas safety record. With permission, an unsafe appliance can be disconnected. The record is issued with the defect included. Any remedial work is quoted separately, so the cost of repairs remains separate from the safety check.
Pipework and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Installation of pipework is outside the annual check, but it remains a continuing maintenance duty. A tightness test and visual examination are recommended good practice, and ALC carries these out. A carbon monoxide alarm is required in living accommodation with a fixed combustion appliance, except a gas cooker, under SI 2022/707 from 1 October 2022.
How Much Does a Gas Safety Certificate Cost in Enfield?
A Gas Safety Certificate costs £69 and covers the gas meter plus up to four gas appliances. The price stays the same across that range, giving landlords a clear cost before booking. Gas, EPC, and wider compliance options are also available for landlords who need several certificates.

Gas Safety and Property Licensing in Enfield
Enfield’s selective licensing scheme covers 17 wards from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Some wards, including Cockfosters and Winchmore Hill, remain outside it. The former scheme used older names such as Enfield Highway and Turkey Street. Additional HMO licensing also covers smaller HMOs borough-wide.
What the Law Requires
Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety Installation and Use Regulations 1998 requires an annual check by a Gas Safe registered engineer on the gas appliances and flues the landlord provides, with the record kept until two further checks have been completed and copies given to existing tenants within 28 days and new tenants before they move in.
Your Licence File and the Gas Record
Enfield Council requires a valid annual gas safety record as part of its licensing requirements. Arrange the check so the record remains current when the application is made. A regulation 36A check within two months before the due date keeps the original expiry date, helping avoid renewal during the application process. The gas record supports the application but does not grant the licence.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2015, as amended in 2022, a carbon monoxide alarm is required in living accommodation containing a fixed combustion appliance, such as a gas boiler or gas fire. The rule excludes a room containing only a gas cooker.
2026 Update Possession and the Landlord Register
Section 21 ended for private landlords on 1 May 2026 under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. The national PRS Database opens for registration on 15 December 2026.
Enfield Property Types We Cover
HMOs and Shared Houses
Enfield’s additional HMO licensing scheme, approved in March 2025, operates alongside the national scheme. A gas safety inspection for your home in Enfield covers each landlord-provided appliance and flue across rooms and shared kitchens. One record can cover the property, with every appliance listed separately. A valid annual record is required for licensing.
Letting to the Council
Housing Gateway and Enfield Let, Find Your Own Home, and the Landlord Incentive Scheme each have their own requirements. Enfield Let requires the gas certificate to confirm the property has passed. An annual gas safety certificate in Enfield supports the landlord’s Regulation 36 duty for a direct let. The council holds that duty for properties it leases and sublets.
Older Houses and Retrofitted Heating
Many Enfield rental homes are houses rather than flats. A gas appliance check Enfield service covers boilers, gas hobs, and gas fires, with each appliance and flue checked. Access to the appliances also affects the visit. The gas safety check covers up to four appliances within the £69 price.
Flats Above Shops and Mixed Use
Along Enfield Town, Palmers Green, Edmonton Green, and Southgate, some homes sit above commercial premises. The domestic CP12 relates to the residential rental property. Gas equipment serving a shop, restaurant, or other commercial unit below falls outside that domestic record and has separate requirements.
Gas Safety Records for Enfield Selective Licence Applications
Enfield’s 2026 selective licensing scheme covers 17 wards. Keep the gas safety record current for your licence application and renewal.
- Designation One covers 13 wards, and Designation Two covers New Southgate, Palmers Green, Southgate and Town.
- Cockfosters, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill and Bush Hill Park are outside both designations.
- Enfield Highway and Turkey Street no longer exist as ward names after the 2022 changes.
- Arrange the check so the record is current on the application date. A Regulation 36A check within two months before the due date keeps the original expiry date.
- At renewal, use the early check period to keep the record current. The gas safety record supports the application but does not grant the licence.
Gas Safety for Landlords Letting to Enfield Council
Enfield Council has three private letting schemes, each with its own gas safety requirements.
- Housing Gateway and Enfield Let require a valid gas safety record. Enfield Let also requires the certificate to confirm the property has passed.
- Find Your Own Home requires a valid gas safety report.
- The Landlord Incentive Scheme also requires a valid gas safety report.
- A lawful gas safety record can include a defect, but Enfield Let requires a record confirming the property has passed.
- For a direct let, the landlord holds the Regulation 36 duty. For a council lease and sublet, the council holds that duty.
- Heating attendance terms are contractual scheme requirements, separate from the statutory gas safety duty.
Gas Safety for Supported Living Providers in Enfield
Supported living providers need clear arrangements for gas safety checks, access and record keeping.
- Where a provider leases a home, the gas safety duty depends on the tenancy and lease arrangement.
- Access needs coordination with residents and support staff so the engineer can reach each landlord provided appliance and flue.
- Keep the gas safety record with the property documents for commissioner checks and ongoing compliance records.
- Record the check date, appliances covered and any defects found.
- Clear communication with residents and support staff helps arrange access without disrupting support arrangements.

Enfield Gas Safety Certificate FAQs
Does selective licensing apply to my Enfield property?
Selective licensing covers 17 wards from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Cockfosters, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill and Bush Hill Park are outside both designations. The licence requirement depends on the ward where the property is located, not the postcode.
Do I need a gas safety certificate for an Enfield licence?
Yes, where the property has gas. A valid annual gas safety record is required for the council licence application. The record supports the application but does not grant the licence.
I’m letting to the council through Enfield Let, is a normal CP12 enough?
- The statutory gas safety record is the starting point.
- Enfield Let requires the certificate to confirm that the property has passed.
- A record showing an unresolved defect does not meet this scheme requirement.
- Complete the remedial work and arrange a fresh gas safety check and record.
How much does a gas safety certificate cost in Enfield?
The price is £69 for up to four gas appliances plus the gas meter. This is one price for the full check, not a separate charge per appliance. Five or more appliances are quoted by appliance count. Gas and EPC together cost £148.
My ward name has changed, which one am I in now?
- Enfield’s ward boundaries changed in 2022.
- Enfield Highway and Turkey Street no longer exist as ward names.
- Parts of these former wards now fall within Brimsdown, Carterhatch and Whitewebbs.
- Check the council’s current ward map for the correct ward.
Which postcodes and areas do you cover in Enfield?
Coverage includes EN1, EN2, EN3, N9, N13 and N21, plus parts of EN4, N11, N14, N18 and N22. Areas include Enfield Town, Edmonton, Ponders End, Palmers Green, Southgate and Winchmore Hill. EN7 and EN8 are Hertfordshire postcodes, not Enfield.
What happens if the engineer finds a defect?
- The gas safety record is issued after every check.
- Any defect is recorded as Immediately Dangerous or At Risk.
- With your permission, an unsafe appliance can be turned off.
- A defect does not stop the gas safety record from being issued.
