5 lever mortice locks (important for getting insurance) The entry door to the building – is there an intercom? Does it work? Window locks, particularly if you’re on the ground floor.Is there a burglar alarm? Try to find out if the property has been broken into in the last year.
Fire: there are over 70,000 fires in people's homes each year: there should be a fire extinguisher and blanket in the kitchen. Are all landing doors fire doors? Does the boiler, wiring, plumbing etc look safe and in good condition? You will need to ensure that you have a safety blanket and a fire extinguisher in the kitchen.
Make sure soft furnishings are labelled as fire resistant – “All furniture and furnishings in rented property should now comply with the 1989 Fire and Furniture Regulations, and must be clearly labelled to that effect.”
Make sure all electrical appliances work – should have been PAT tested (Portable Appliance Testing).
You have a legal right to the Landlord's Gas Safety Record or CORGI safety certificate, and a safety check must have been carried out within the last 12 months.
Are there carbon monoxide detectors? Yellow or brown staining around or on appliances could indicate carbon monoxide.
