Be ready before your registration window opens.
Every private landlord in England must register themselves and each let property on the government's new database, at £65 a property a year. LetRecord keeps your certificates, tenancy details and deadlines in one place, ready to copy across.
Your deadline depends on where the property is
Each region gets a three-month window, one region a month. It goes by the property's location, not where you live. You can register any property early from 15 Dec 2026.
The fee is £65 a property a year, with the first fee pro-rated during the rollout. Letting a property without an active entry risks a council fine of up to £7,000, or up to £40,000 for repeated breaches. How registration works

What registration asks for, and where LetRecord keeps it
For each property you'll give its details, the tenancy, the rent, and copies of the gas, electrical and energy certificates. LetRecord keeps the certificates with their dates and sources, and the tenancy and rent details with each property.
- Name, date of birth, home address, phone and email
- A GOV.UK One Login
- Company details if you let through a company
- Address, ownership type and dwelling type
- Number of bedrooms
- Freeholder, superior landlord or property manager contacts
- Occupants and households
- HMO, additional or selective licence numbers
- Furnished or not, rent, how often, bills included
- Gas safety record and its issue date
- EICR or EIC and its expiry date
- EPC, and any MEES exemption if below band E
