Rental property and gas cooker fsd

[Sandeep89]

Hi,

Wanted to clarify something in regards gas cookers in rental properties. Have a landlord who wants to rent out his house to a family however the gas hob does not have an fsd on the burners. Hob was installed in 2002.

Would he require a cooker with fsd or is this only for hmo properties and for cookers installed after 2008.

Thanks

I have not heard of landlord having to have fsd, never taken one out because it didn't.

My understanding is that anything pre-existing, and working correctly, is fine to be left. However all new installations in flats and HMO's must have FSD's. I don't think you could buy one without to be honest.
Hope that helps.

If the hob is as manufactured and the Property is not HMO then it is ok

They should all be manufactured with FSD’s .

I don't know but I would look at the regs or my course book before trusting people (like me) on t'interwebz.
