    It probably means that something - possibly the gas supply pipe - is not earthed. Ten minute job.

    Thanks, one of the comments at the end was about this.

    There is no requirement for gas safety certificate on a private house!

    i was getting this checked before I exchanged, for my own benefit, so I knew it was safe. I realise it's not compulsory but I wanted to know.

    in that case do not worry , however the mortgage Co "may" ask for it before issuing a mortgage , or reduce the amount until a certificate is produced


    in the OPs own words


    "I'm buying a property, and had a gas check carried out."


    I wonder who wanted the gas check , father xmas?

    Me.

    No mortgage involved.

    Thanks everyone for all your comments.

    I'm completing next Wednesday, and will get it fixed when I have a full service, after I've moved in.

    Unless you are buying it to let.
