What is the best software for landlords to track compliance certificates? There is no single best tool. Choose one that tracks what England requires: a gas check every 12 months, an electrical report at least every 5 years and a valid EPC, with reminders, as checked on 16 October 2026. At minimum: the gas safety record, renewed every 12 months; the electrical safety report (EICR), at least every 5 years or sooner if the report says so; and the EPC, valid for 10 years, rated E or above unless an exemption is registered. It can be, for one or two lets, if you keep it up to date and set your own calendar reminders. The law asks you to do the checks and hand over the records, not to use any particular tool. Not for new tenancies. GOV.UK withdrew it on 1 May 2026 and keeps it only for tenancies where a section 21 notice was served before that date.
