Compliance checklist

Letting legally in England means getting a handful of documents right. homedrops tracks each one per property and chases what's missing — so a listing can't go live without the basics in place.

The essentials

  • Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) — annual, where there’s gas
  • EICR — electrical safety, every 5 years
  • EPC — energy rating, minimum band E to let
  • Smoke & carbon-monoxide alarms — fitted and tested
  • Deposit protection — in an approved scheme within 30 days
  • Right to Rent — checked for every adult occupier

Tracked, not chased

Upload each certificate once and homedrops records the expiry, shows a status badge to tenants, and reminds you before anything lapses. The tenancy agreement can be generated early, but it cannot be executed until the required certificates are in place.

Need a certificate?

We can connect you with vetted contractors for gas, electrical and EPC work, and order an independent inventory through our partners. Browse the options in the partner directory.
