Well I know a few landlords who have just one or two properties and they
just laughed when shown this message.
Sounds like the agent is after some extra dosh to me. I bet he knows just
the bloke to do the job, probably his Son or father in law.
Cynic mode off.

We're told that we need to have our rental property inspected to comply
with H&SE requirements and that it will cost £81 every two years for the
privilege.

The property is a 2-bed modern terraced house with a combi boiler. If the
CH system was installed following the manufacturer's guidelines and is
delivering hot water to the taps and shower, I don't see why an expert
inspection is required periodically. At most, a once-off inspection of the
installation should suffice, with periodic checking that water is hot at
the taps and shower[1].

Here's what the H&SE advises:

I can understand the need to take such measures for large premises -
office block, hotel, factory etc. - but OTT otherwise. It looks like an
opportunity to make easy money for those doing these inspections in most
other cases.

I'd be interested to hear the opinions of others on this.

[1] We do regular general inspections of the property anyway, but tenant
would soon complain if the shower ran cooler than normal in any case.
