⚠🏡 **LANDLORDS | A HEADS-UP FOR 2027**🏡⚠
📣Another change is on the way for landlords under the Renters’ Rights Act – although here in the **North West, we’ve got a little while to prepare.**
The Government has now confirmed the rollout dates for its new **Register your rental property** service, which will require landlords to register themselves and each property they let.
The register launches in England from **15 December 2026**, starting in the West Midlands before being introduced region by region.
📍 **For landlords with properties in Macclesfield, Cheshire and the wider North West, registration will run from:**
📅 **15 May 2027 – 14 August 2027**
The important point is that the deadline is based on **where your rental property is located**, not where you live.
💷 Registration will cost **£65 per property, per year**.
Landlords will be required to provide information about themselves and the property, including things such as:
🏠 Property and ownership details
👥 Tenancy and occupancy information
💷 Rent and payment details
🔥 Gas safety information
⚡ Electrical safety information
🌱 EPC details
📋 Any relevant HMO, additional or selective licences
👤 Details of any property manager
During the initial rollout, the requirement applies to properties that are **already let or become let during the registration period**. Empty properties won't need to be registered at this stage.
Landlords with properties in different parts of England can choose to register them all from **15 December 2026**, but each property must be registered by the deadline for its own region.
Once the North West deadline passes on **14 August 2027**, councils will be able to begin enforcement action against landlords who should have registered but haven't.
There are still some details to be clarified, particularly around the role managing agents will be able to play in the registration process, and Propertymark is continuing to raise questions with Government on behalf of its members.
For now, there’s nothing our North West landlords need to rush to do – but it’s another important date to have on the radar.
As we get closer and further guidance becomes available, **we’ll keep our landlords updated and help them understand what they need to do.** 🏡🔑
