To all my landlords who are on my fully managed service, please read the following, I am afraid that as your agent, I cannot do this for you, you will have to register each of your properties individually yourself. I am here to help you and will keep you informed.
Any questions, please give me a call. I will email you all separately in the coming weeks. You do not need to do anything just yet.
This is just for your information at the moment to advise you what the latest government regulations will be:
Landlords, you could be fined up to Β£40,000 if you do not register for this new PRS Database.
This is the next phase of the Rentersβ Rights Act, and landlords who miss it could face massive fines.
Every landlord will need to register each rental property on the new national database. Itβs officially called the Private Rented Sector Database.
Your agent canβt do it for you. Your tenant canβt do it. Itβs your responsibility.
Itβll cost Β£65 per property.
It mainly applies to privately rented homes in England where the occupier is a tenant under an assured or regulated tenancy. In practice, that means most normal landlord setups, including single lets and HMOs where the property is the tenantβs main home.
It generally does not cover holiday lets or Airbnb-style accommodation, genuine business/company tenancies, lodgers where the landlord lives in the property, purpose-built student accommodation in the relevant National Code, very high-rent tenancies over Β£100,000 a year, or long leases.
The rollout starts in the West Midlands on 15 December 2026. Landlords there will then have three months to register. Other areas will follow later.
Youβll need to provide basic details, including the property address, tenancy type, rent and EPC.
Failing to register could mean a Β£7,000 fine.
Serious or repeated breaches could cost you up to Β£40,000.
So donβt ignore this. Check when registration opens in your area and get it done.
