Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Pimlico

Westminster average monthly rents now exceed £3,300 — among the highest in London — with tenant demand from corporate relocations, government workers and international arrivals keeping the market persistently tight. Every Pimlico landlord with a rental property containing gas appliances must hold a valid CP12, renewed annually. Westminster also launched a new selective licensing scheme in late 2025, placing additional compliance obligations on landlords across designated areas of the borough.


  • From £90 +VAT for a standard single-appliance property

  • Same-day digital CP12 issued on completion

  • Mansion block and multi-appliance properties — call for a tailored quote

  • Portfolio rates for letting agents and landlords with 3 or more SW1 properties

    Do you carry out CP12 inspections for mansion blocks in Pimlico?

    Yes — we regularly carry out gas safety inspections for mansion blocks, communal boiler systems and multi-unit residential buildings across SW1.
