Some safety obligations that have been advised but not regulated are set to become mandatory – including annual smoke alarm testing and safety checks on any gas and electrical appliances and fittings every two years.

In addition, any properties with a Pool or Spa now need to be registered with their local council by November 1st this year and will require safety inspections to be completed every four years. We are reviewing our procedures and putting in place strategic partnerships and safeguards to ensure this is handled efficiently going forward.
