Lewisham Licensing: Certificate or No-Gas Declaration
What the Selective Application Asks For
Lewisham Council requires an EPC, an EICR and a “Gas Safety Certificate, if applicable, or a declaration of no gas supply”. The scheme runs from 1 July 2024 to 1 July 2029, covering around 20,000 properties. It follows pre-May 2022 ward boundaries, with all of Telegraph Hill and most of today's Blackheath ward outside the scheme. Check the council's interactive map. Each property needs its own licence.
Selective, HMO or Neither?
- Selective: Applies to private rented properties in designated areas.
- Additional HMO: Covers qualifying HMOs across Lewisham until April 2027. A decision on consultation for a new scheme remains pending.
- Mandatory HMO: Applies to properties housing five or more people from two or more households.
Lewisham's HMO standards require gas appliances to be serviced and safety-checked within the previous 12 months. A gas safety check is not a boiler service.
Status at 10 October 2026 : Selective licensing runs until 1 July 2029. Additional HMO licensing runs until April 2027. A decision on a new scheme remains pending.
Lewisham Selective Licensing: Key Facts
- Scheme dates: 1 July 2024 to 1 July 2029, across three designations.

Regulation 36 of GSIUR 1998 requires landlords to arrange an annual gas safety check covering the appliances, fittings and flues they provide. Existing tenants receive a copy within 28 days, and new tenants receive one before moving in.

The record lists any defects found and remedial action taken. Faults are classified as immediately dangerous or at risk.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
An alarm is required in living accommodation with a fixed combustion appliance, including a gas boiler, except for a gas cooker.
2026 Update

Lewisham Gas Safety Certificate FAQs
Does my Lewisham selective licence application need a gas certificate?
Yes, if the property has a gas supply. Lewisham Council asks for a “Gas Safety Certificate, if applicable, or a declaration of no gas supply,” as well as an EPC and an EICR. Properties without gas need a declaration instead. Each property requires its own licence.
Is my Telegraph Hill or Blackheath let covered by selective licensing?
All of Telegraph Hill sits outside the scheme, along with most of today’s Blackheath ward. The designation follows ward boundaries from before May 2022, and only a small section of the current Blackheath ward falls inside it.
What does Lewisham ask of HMO gas records?
Lewisham’s HMO standards require gas safety records to:
- Be submitted annually.
- Cover the whole gas installation and include all gas appliances.
- Confirm that all appliances have been serviced and safety-checked within the previous 12 months.
A gas safety check is not a boiler service, so separate servicing evidence needed.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm by my gas boiler in Lewisham?
Yes, if the boiler is in a room used as living accommodation. Since 1 October 2022, the law has required an alarm in such rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, except for a gas cooker. A gas boiler counts, so guidance referring only to solid-fuel appliances is outdated.
