Who needs to register?
If you are a Landlord with an assured or regulated tenancy, you will need to register yourself and your rental property.
How much does it cost?
- Registration costs £65 per property each year.
- You’ll need to renew the registration every year.
- The fee will be adjusted during the initial rollout.
- If you don’t register when required, you could face enforcement action and fines.

What information will I need?
You will need a GOV.UK One Login and will have to provide details about yourself and your property.
This includes:
- Your name and contact details
- The property address
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of people living there
- Whether it is currently rented
- How much rent you charge and how often it is paid
- Whether the property is furnished
- Details of the owner, landlord or property manager where relevant
- Any HMO or other required licence details
- Gas safety information
- Electrical safety information
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- Details of any relevant MEES exemption
If you are registering on behalf of an organisation, you’ll need to provide additional organisation and contact details.
What about empty properties?
At the moment, you only need to register properties that are currently rented or become rented during the rollout.
There will be further rules in the future requiring empty properties to be registered before they are advertised for rent.
Why is the government introducing this?
The aim is to make it easier for councils to identify Landlords who are not following the rules.
In the future, tenants will also be able to check whether a Landlord is complying with certain legal requirements.
What can Pat Robson & Co do to support the registration?
The Government will be releasing further details regarding how your managing agent can support you with the registration of your property / properties. As soon as this information is available, we will review the guidance and, where permitted, provide further support and assistance to our Landlords throughout the registration process.
