Gas Safety Compliance Drops for Social Housing Landlords
Only four in ten English social landlords reported full compliance with required gas safety checks in 2025/26, according to early analysis by Housemark. This marks a decrease from 56.9% compliance reported the previous year.
Housemark’s analysis of Tenant Satisfaction Measure (TSM) results found the latest compliance figure to be 41.7%. This decline comes despite an increase in the proportion of tenants who said their home was safe.
The findings highlight a notable drop in gas safety compliance among social housing landlords in England. This is a key concern for letting agents and inventory clerks, who play a role in ensuring properties meet safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Letting agents and inventory professionals are reminded of the importance of regular gas safety checks and accurate record-keeping, especially in light of these reported compliance figures.
