/ Letting & managing agents
One workspace for tracking, evidencing and distributing the EICR and gas safety record duties you hold across every property you manage — electrical and gas, on the same rails.
A letting or managing agency's statutory duties don't stop at one trade: the same property needs an EICR at least every 5 years and a gas safety record every year, and both land on the agency whenever the tenancy agreement puts the duty there. Most certification software is built for one trade — an EICR tool, or a CP12 tool — which means an agency tracking both duties across a property list ends up running two separate systems with two separate records, two separate logins, and no single place that shows the whole picture for one property.
Letting and managing agents holding statutory landlord duties — EICR, gas safety record, or both — across a list of managed properties, where the agency (not necessarily the property owner) is the one dealing with compliance day to day.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, every fixed electrical installation needs an EICR at least every 5 years, a copy to the tenant within 28 days of inspection, and a copy to the local housing authority within 7 days of a request. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, every landlord-provided appliance, flue and piece of pipework needs an annual check, with the record to the tenant within 28 days, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Both duties apply per property, regardless of how many properties the agency manages.
This is general information about public law, not a compliance assessment of any specific property.
The engineers an agency works with issue both the EICR and the gas safety record (CP12) in NexCert — along with the rest of the electrical, fire, ventilation and gas certificate types it ships — in the same workspace. NexCert does not carry out inspections; the agency tracks, evidences and distributes what its engineers issue. An engineer captures the certificate on site, on a phone or tablet, and a qualifying supervisor signs it off remotely from a desktop. Every certificate carries its own audit trail: what was inspected, by whom, what was found, when it was signed off. An agency tracking both duties across its property list is not running two unconnected tools to do it.
NexCert Electrical unlocks the electrical, fire and ventilation certificate families. NexCert Gas unlocks the gas family. NexCert Complete combines both in one workspace, priced at 1.5x a single line rather than the two added together — relevant wherever an agency is tracking both duties across the same property list. The property, job and compliance-reporting tools an agency uses to track and evidence what's due start at the Growth tier.
/ FAQ
No. NexCert is the system the certificate is captured and signed off in — the engineer still inspects, and the supervisor still reviews and signs.
Yes — NexCert Electrical and NexCert Gas unlock different certificate families inside the same workspace, and NexCert Complete combines both for an agency that needs both.
No. The property, job and compliance-reporting tools an agency needs start at the Growth plan; Large suits a bigger portfolio and team. Pick the tier that matches your team size and the number of properties you manage — see the pricing page.
