Obtaining gas and electrical safety certificates is crucial for ensuring the safety of a property and its occupants. These certificates are typically required for rental properties or before the sale of a home:

1. **Gas Safety Certificate:** Issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer, it confirms that gas appliances, fittings, and flues are safe and in good working order. This certificate should be renewed annually.

2. **Electrical Safety Certificate:** This is usually an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provided by a qualified electrician. It verifies that the electrical installation complies with safety standards. EICRs should be conducted regularly, with the frequency depending on the property type.

These certificates provide peace of mind, legal compliance, and protection against potential hazards associated with gas and electrical systems.
