What happens if a certificate expires during a tenancy?

An expired certificate can leave you open to a fine from the local council and can affect your ability to regain possession of the property. On Premium Management and Portfolio Management we book every renewal well before the expiry date, so it doesn't come to that.

Do you take over compliance if I switch from another agent?

Yes. When you switch to Procuro, we collect every existing certificate, check the dates, flag anything missing or expiring, and add it all to your compliance calendar from the first day.

I have properties in more than one borough. Does that matter?

It can. Licensing rules differ between London boroughs, so a property that needs no licence in one borough may need one in the next. We check the rules for each property's borough and track any licence renewals alongside its certificates.

Do I get copies of the certificates?

Yes. Every certificate and report is kept on file and shared with you, and we give your tenant the copies they are entitled to receive.

Landlord Compliance Management in Central London

A rented home in England has more legal requirements than ever, and most of them come with a deadline. Missing one can put your tenancy, your deposit and your income at risk. Procuro tracks every certificate and renewal date across your property or portfolio, books renewals before they fall due and keeps the records in one place.

Compliance you don't have to think about.

Letting a home in Central London means keeping on top of a growing list of legal requirements, each with its own renewal date and its own consequences for missing it. A single lapsed certificate can delay a let, hold up a deposit return or leave you exposed if something goes wrong. For a landlord with more than one property, those dates quickly become hard to track.

Our job is to make compliance something you no longer have to think about. We keep every certificate and renewal date for your property, or for every unit in your portfolio, in one place, book inspections before they fall due and chase any remedial work through to completion. Every record is kept on file and shared with you, so you are always ready for a new tenancy, a sale or a dispute. The sections below set out exactly what each let needs, how we stay on top of it and what it costs.

The certificates and checks every let needs.

Gas Safety certificate

Every gas appliance, fitting and flue must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every year, and the tenant must receive a copy of the record. We book the check before the old certificate expires and keep every record on file.

Electrical safety (EICR)

Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, give the report to the tenant and complete any required remedial work within the deadline. We arrange the inspection, follow up any remedial work and track the next due date.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

A valid EPC is needed before a property is marketed, and rented homes must meet the minimum energy efficiency standard, currently an E rating, unless a valid exemption applies. We arrange the certificate and advise you on the rating.

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

A smoke alarm is required on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance, except gas cookers. Alarms must be working on the first day of a tenancy. We check them at move-in and at every inspection.

Deposit protection

Deposits must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receipt, with the prescribed information given to the tenant within the same period. We register the deposit and serve the paperwork for you.

Right to Rent

Landlords in England must check that every adult tenant has the right to rent before the tenancy starts. We carry out and record the checks during referencing.

Property licensing

Some London boroughs require a licence to let certain properties, including houses in multiple occupation and, in some areas, other private lets. We check whether your property needs a licence before it is let.

The Renters' Rights Act

Private renting in England changed on 1 May 2026, when new tenancies became periodic assured tenancies and section 21 “no-fault” evictions ended. We keep every tenancy we manage in line with the current rules.

How Procuro keeps you compliant.

One compliance calendar

Every certificate and renewal date for your property, or for every unit in your portfolio, in one place.

Renewals booked early

We arrange inspections before certificates expire, at a time that suits your tenant.

Records you can find

Certificates and reports are kept on file and shared with you, ready for a new tenancy, a sale or a dispute.

Remedial work followed through

If an inspection finds a problem, we get quotes, agree them with you and confirm the work is done.

Which service includes it.

On Tenant Find & Rent Collection, we make sure everything is in place before your tenant moves in. On Premium Management and Portfolio Management, we also track and renew every certificate throughout the tenancy.

What it costs.

Compliance management is part of our service fee. The certificates themselves are charged separately: EPC from £120, Gas Safety certificate from £100 and EICR from £180, all inclusive of VAT. The full list is on our fees page.
