🏠 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR LANDLORDS
If you own and rent out a residential property in England, a new Landlord Register is being introduced under the Renters’ Rights Act.
Landlords will be required to register themselves and their rental properties on the new Private Rented Sector Database.
⚠️ Failure to comply with the new requirements can result in a financial penalty of up to £7,000. More serious offences can result in penalties of up to £40,000.
There will also be a registration fee. The final fee is due to be set by the database operator.
The scheme will be introduced region by region from December 2026.
If you are a landlord, please contact us and we can advise you when you need to register and what information will be required.
