Landlords Gas Safety Checks in Combe Martin
Combe Martin is one of Devon's more distinctive villages — strung along a single main road that follows the bottom of a deep, wooded combe all the way from the A399 down to the beach. The Pack o' Cards pub, the seventeenth-century oddity built on a hand of cards, sits near the lower end of the village and has marked the centre of Combe Martin for over three hundred years. The village has a real community to it, a mix of families who've been here for generations and newer residents drawn by the landscape and the proximity to Ilfracombe.
There are rental properties throughout the village. Some of the older terraced houses further up the valley have been let for years; some of the properties closer to the seafront operate as holiday lets. All of them, where they have a gas supply, are subject to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 — an annual gas safety inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer, a valid CP12 certificate issued and provided to tenants.

Your Legal Obligations as a Landlord in Combe Martin
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require every landlord letting a residential property with a gas supply to arrange an annual gas safety inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The obligation covers all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in the property that the landlord maintains.
The Health and Safety Executive enforces the Regulations. Failing to hold a valid certificate is a criminal offence, with penalties including unlimited fines and imprisonment where tenants or guests are harmed. The duty is personal — it sits with the landlord, not the managing agent.
Every engineer carrying out gas safety work for landlords must be registered on the Gas Safe Register. You can verify any engineer's registration at gassaferegister.co.uk before accepting a certificate from them.
