Landlord guides
Compliance & safety guides
Gas, electrical, EPC, alarms, licensing and the rest of the compliance load. Practical guides to what the law requires of landlords before and during a tenancy, from a Propertymark accredited agent.
Most compliance failures are not deliberate. A gas safety record lapses by a week, an electrical report is filed but never read, or an EPC expires between tenancies. The penalties are the same either way, and a missing certificate can also leave a landlord unable to regain possession when they need to.
These guides take one duty at a time: what the law requires, how often, who is allowed to do the work and what records to keep. Start with the 2026 compliance checklist for the full list in one place. If you want a professional tracking the renewal dates for you, our landlord compliance service does exactly that for properties across Doncaster and South Yorkshire.
