LANDLORDS: another Renters’ Rights date for your diary…
The Government has now confirmed the rollout of the new ‘Register Your Rental Property Service’, a compulsory database for private landlords in England.
Registration opens from 15 December 2026, but it’s being introduced region by region.
For our landlords here in the North West, the requirement kicks in on 15 May 2027, and you’ll have until 14 August 2027 to register.
The cost? £65 per property, every year.
You’ll need a landlord entry plus a separate entry for each property, with information covering the property, tenancy, rent and key compliance documents such as your Gas Safety Record, EPC and EICR/EIC. And one particularly important point: your letting agent cannot complete the registration on your behalf, landlords will need to do this themselves.
Failure to comply can carry significant consequences, with civil penalties starting at up to £7,000 and potentially reaching £40,000 for certain continued or more serious breaches.
It might feel like there’s a LOT changing for landlords right now, because there is.
That’s why we’re keeping our landlords informed as the Renters’ Rights reforms continue to roll out, and why having the right property management support behind you is becoming increasingly valuable.
You register the property. We’ll help you stay on top of everything else.
