£65 per property. Every year. Before a single repair. 🏠
The government has confirmed the fee for the new landlord register (the PRS Database). Here’s what it means for you:
🔹 Registering yourself as a landlord is free, but each property costs £65 a year
🔹 Rollout starts 15 December 2026 in the West Midlands, then moves region by region
🔹 5 properties = £325 a year. 10 properties = £650 a year
Add that to gas certificates, EICRs, EPCs and the rest of the paperwork, and it’s no wonder landlords are thinking about selling.
But selling isn’t the only way out. A 3–5 year company let can take a lot of the day-to-day running off your plate, while you keep the asset.
