The homeowner needs a copy of certificate when selling the property.  It is a responsibility of the homeowner to ensure that installation work is notified.

Until 31 March 2009, under previous rules of registration, gas installers made notifications through CORGI on behalf of the homeowner. Notification was then followed by certificate which was forwarded to the owner of the property.

What is a notification certificate?

This is a certificate that is produced on the completion of a notification of an installation of a gas appliance or a electrical/plumbing or ventilation installation by the engineer through CORGI.

There are two types of notification certificates:

- Decalration of Safety

- Building Regulations Certificate of Compliance

When did the requirement of this certification come in force?

The requirement of the notification certificate became a requirement from 1st April 2005

Why and when do I need a notification certificate?

As a home owner you will require a notificiation certificate for any new appliances or installations that have been installed into your property from 01 April 2005. This was due to a change in the regulations that came into force in 01 April 2005. The notification certificate is requirement when a home owner is looking to sell the property.
