If you pay for your existing contract by Standing order, you will need to make sure that these payments continue and are for the correct amount for your new service contract. We will inform you at least 14 days before your contract expires so that you will have time to inform us if you wish to use alternative payment details or to decline a new service contract. We may vary the amount of the contract or any of the terms and conditions by giving 14 days written notice. 

 

J) Gas safety Check & Certificate (CP12)

If you then ask us to call the tenant on your behalf, we will try to contact the tenant a maximum of three times. If we have no success we will let you know, so you can then arrange an appointment.

If the tenant is not at home, or we are not able to gain access for any reason when we have arrived for the appointment, we will advise you and it is then your responsibility to rearrange another time.

We take no responsibility for making sure that your Gas safety Certificate is in date.
