Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

A licence can last up to five years. Herefordshire Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.
