Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for Rental Properties in NI

Every rental property in Northern Ireland must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be advertised for rent. EPCs provide a rating of your property's energy efficiency and are valid for 10 years. If you've recently purchased a property, the EPC may already be included in the home report.

Quicklet can arrange your EPC quickly and efficiently, ensuring your property is compliant and ready for tenants.

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) Compliance

New regulations require all private rented properties in Northern Ireland to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least every five years. This applies to both new and existing leases, making it a legal obligation for landlords.

Stay compliant with Quicklet. We arrange EICRs for your property, keeping tenants safe and your rental fully legal.

Smoke, Heat, and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Requirements

From 1st September 2024, all rental properties must have:

  • Smoke alarms in living areas and hallways
  • Heat alarms in kitchens
  • Carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with fuel-burning appliances

Alarms must be interlinked, so if one activates, they all sound. Landlords are responsible for ensuring alarms are fitted, tested, and maintained.

Quicklet can install and maintain all alarms, keeping your rental compliant and your tenants protected.

Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)

All gas appliances, fittings, and flues in rental properties must be inspected annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Landlords must provide tenants with a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) at the start of tenancy and within 28 days of each annual check.

Quicklet manages gas safety inspections so you can rest assured your property is fully compliant and safe for tenants.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Legal Requirements

Under the Smoke, Heat and Carbon Monoxide Alarms for Private Tenancies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024, landlords must install carbon monoxide alarms in rooms or circulation spaces with fixed combustion appliances or flues.

  • Effective 1 September 2024 for new tenancies
  • Effective 1 December 2024 for existing tenancies

Quicklet ensures all CO alarms are installed and maintained, keeping your rental properties compliant and tenants safe.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) for Landlords

While PAT testing isn't legally required for all domestic rentals, landlords must ensure that supplied electrical appliances - like kettles, toasters, or TVs - are safe to use. Regular testing identifies hazards and demonstrates compliance with electrical safety standards.

Quicklet can coordinate PAT testing, ensuring all appliances are safe and your property meets its duty of care.
