Safety and Style

We pride ourselves on the high-standards of decor, design and overall furnishing that Citypadz properties all have in common. We also make completely sure that landlords are fully aware of the safety requirements that apply to rental property.

Citypadz has a close working relationship with two well-established design companies, who offer landlords a bespoke interior design service to suit all budgets and locations.

Furniture Nation is the ideal solution for letting agents, property investors, landlords and developers. They offer a variety of set packages as well as a bespoke service with one guiding principal - to make your property a well-furnished property. For further information on their services and packages please download their pdf brochure.

Gas Safety

All landlords must make sure that all their gas appliances are fully compliant with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 (amended 1996). They should be checked annually by a CORGI-registered engineer. A certificate will be issued after this inspection. Retain this certificate together with the inspection dates. Keep a list of any faults identified and the subsequent corrections.

A current safety certificate must be available to any tenant before occupancy.

Smoke Detectors

Every property built after 1992 must have a mains-powered smoke detector and alarm, which, of course, must be fully working

Electrical Equipment

All electrical equipment, appliances, wiring and installations must be safe to use. Prior to letting you must make sure that the property complies with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, and the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994. It is advisable to employ a registered electrician to carry out a full check of your property prior to letting.

Furniture and Furnishings

All furniture and furnishings must meet the necessary fire resistant levels. The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (amended 1989, 1993 & 1996) give guidelines to landlords.

General Safety

Your property must comply with the General Product Safety Regulations 1994, which cover building structure and the contents. You should make an exhaustive examination of your property to avoid all potential risks.
