Reminders before it becomes a problem
Free shows you the status when you open the app. Pro reminds you on your phone at 90 / 60 / 30 / 7 / 0 days before expiry, at a time you choose, so there is always room to book an engineer.

How it works
From shoebox to sorted in three steps.
Designed around how landlords actually manage paperwork: on the phone, between viewings.
-
01Add a property
Name it, pick the certificates that apply, and you have a checklist in under a minute. No account, no import wizard.
-
02Log the certificate
Scan the paperwork or type the dates. CertAlert keeps the photo as evidence and works out the next renewal from the type you picked.
-
03Get reminded, prove it
Reminders land at 90, 60, 30, 7 and 0 days. When an agent, council or tenant asks, the evidence is already on the property.
Inside the app
A live dashboard, not an empty one.
First property, first certificate, then a checklist you can actually work from — including types you add yourself.

Which certificates does CertAlert track?
The five that come up for almost every private rental: the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR, 5 years), the Gas Safety Record (CP12, 12 months), the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC, 10 years), a Legionella Risk Assessment (2 years) and the annual Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm check. Each property has its own checklist — switch off types that do not apply, and add your own (insurance, tenancy agreements, licences) when you need them.
Is it really free?
Yes. Free tracks one property with the full checklist, red / amber / green status and one evidence photo per certificate, stored on your device. Pro adds reminders, unlimited properties, camera OCR, unlimited photos, cloud backup and proof-pack export for £4.99 a month or £39.99 a year.
Do I need an account?
No. CertAlert works entirely on your phone with no sign-up. If you upgrade to Pro and turn on cloud backup, you sign in with a magic link sent to your email so your records can be restored on another device.
Where is my data stored?
On your device by default. With Pro cloud backup enabled, an encrypted copy is stored on Cloudflare infrastructure at certalert.uk so it survives a lost or replaced phone. Certificate scanning happens on device; images are not sent anywhere for processing. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
What is a proof pack?
A PDF for one property that lists every certificate with its issuer, reference, issue and expiry dates, the evidence photos, and whether it was served to the tenant. Landlords use it for letting agents, council licensing teams, solicitors during a sale, and tenants who ask for copies. Free shows a preview; Pro lets you share and save it.
I let in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Does it still work?
Yes. The checklist reflects the requirements most commonly applied to private rentals in England, but the certificates themselves are the same across the UK and you control the dates. Requirements and frequencies differ in places, so always check the rules for your property and tenancy.
What does CertAlert not do?
It does not collect rent, manage repairs, file tax returns or draft notices, and it is not legal advice. It does one job: keeping your safety certificates and evidence in order so you are never caught out.
CertAlert 
Never miss a landlord certificate.
Free for your first property. Add every EICR, Gas Safety, EPC and alarm check in an evening, and stop worrying about the next renewal.
