Compliance Disclaimer
Last updated: 16 May 2026
CertMyHome is a software tool that helps you keep track of compliance dates, documents and recurring checks for your rental properties. It is not a substitute for qualified inspection, contractor work, regulatory advice or legal counsel.
1. You remain the responsible person
As a landlord, freeholder or property manager you are legally responsible for meeting all applicable obligations - including gas safety (CP12), electrical installation safety (EICR), smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, fire risk assessments, EPC, HMO licensing, deposit protection, the Renters' Rights Bill and any local council requirements. Using CertMyHome does not transfer any of those obligations to us.
2. Reminders are best-effort
We send reminders based on the dates you (or your contractors) enter. Reminders may fail to arrive due to email filters, outages, or incorrect data. You should not rely solely on CertMyHome reminders to meet a statutory deadline. Always check expiry dates directly on the relevant certificate.
3. Legislation content is general information
Our legislation summaries, guides, templates and tools are general information for UK landlords. They are not legal advice, do not create a solicitor-client relationship, and may not reflect the latest changes in law or your specific circumstances. Take professional advice before relying on them.
4. No verification of certificates
We do not verify that uploaded certificates are genuine, current or issued by a qualified contractor. It is your responsibility to engage suitably qualified, registered tradespeople (Gas Safe, NICEIC, etc.) and to confirm the validity of any certificate.
5. No liability for outcomes
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CertMyHome is not liable for fines, penalties, court orders, rent repayment orders, tenancy disputes, injury, damage or any other loss resulting from missed deadlines, expired certificates, regulatory action or reliance on information in the Service.
6. When in doubt, get advice
If you are unsure about any compliance obligation, consult a qualified solicitor, surveyor, contractor or your local authority. For tenant-safety emergencies, contact emergency services first.
