For landlords

Landlord compliance: EPC, Gas Safety, EICR — what do I need?

Every let in England requires:

  • Valid EPC (rating E or above; rises to C from 2028 for new tenancies)
  • Annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) where there are gas appliances
  • Five-yearly EICR (electrical safety report)
  • Deposit protection in a government-approved scheme within 30 days
  • Right to Rent checks on all adult occupants
  • Upload each certificate against your property and we'll remind you before they expire.

    How do I track EPC, Gas Safety and EICR renewals?

    Upload each certificate against the property in your dashboard. DR Rent reads the expiry date and sends you reminders 60, 30 and 7 days before renewal.

    All documents are stored in your audit trail — handy if a tenant or local authority ever requests proof.

    General

    Can I book multiple services together?

    Yes. We offer bundled services so you can combine EPC, PAT testing, inventory reports, photography and floor plans in a single visit to save time and money.

    How quickly are reports delivered?

    Most reports — including EPCs, inventories and PAT testing — are delivered within 24–48 hours of the visit, straight to your dashboard.

    Do I need to be present during the visit?

    An adult must normally provide property access. It doesn't have to be you — a tenant, agent or keyholder can grant access on your behalf.

    Can I download old reports?

    Yes. All your reports and certificates remain accessible from your customer dashboard at any time, so you can re-download them whenever you need.

    How long does an EPC take?

    Most EPC assessments take between 20–60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property.
