A new requirement is coming for every landlord letting a property in England.
From 15 December 2026, the government's new Register Your Rental Property service opens region by region, starting in the West Midlands. Once registration opens in your area, you'll have three months to register, based on where the property is rather than where you live, and every landlord needs to be registered by 14 November 2027 at the latest.
There's a £65 annual fee per property, and you'll need your safety certificates, gas, EICR and EPC, along with your property and tenancy details, ready to go. It has to be done by you as the landlord, agents can't register on your behalf, though your local Letting Expert can help you pull it all together.
At The Letting Experts, our Partner Agents run their own businesses in your local area, so whoever you're speaking to knows your property and your patch personally.
