Register Ready
For private landlords in England
The government's landlord register opens 15 December 2026

Every rental in England must go on the new landlord register. Find your deadline.

Registration opens one region at a time on the government's own service. Each property costs £65 a year and needs its gas, electrical and energy certificates. Check what you need in under a minute, for free.

Rollout

Nine regions, one a month, three months each

Your region's window is highlighted. Miss the deadline and you risk a fine of up to £7,000 per breach.

Red line: your deadline. Once registered, each property renews every year.

How it works

From “not sure” to registered, without the admin

  1. Check

    Tell us your properties. We show your deadline, your fee and exactly which certificates are missing or about to expire.

  2. Fix

    Book a gas safety check, electrical report or EPC with a vetted local engineer at a fixed price. The certificate lands in your account.

  3. Register

    Follow our free step-by-step guide to the government's Register your rental property service. Next year we remind you before anything runs out.

Questions

What landlords are asking

Who has to register?

Private landlords in England who let homes on assured or regulated tenancies. Every let property needs its own entry. Purpose-built student accommodation and housing run by accredited universities are exempt.

What does the register cost?

£65 per property, every year, paid to the government register. Four properties cost £260 a year.

Do I need Register Ready to register?

No. You register yourself on the government's Register your rental property service. Our checker, guide and reminders are free. We charge only for booking certificates and for the optional compliance plan.

What happens if I don't register?

A civil penalty of up to £7,000. A repeat breach within five years, or giving false information, can mean up to £40,000 or prosecution. You may also be unable to get a possession order for the property.

My letting agent manages the property. Do I still need to act?

Your agent can help, but you stay responsible for the information on the register. Agree in writing who does what before your region's deadline.

I let property in Wales or Scotland.

This register covers England only. Wales has Rent Smart Wales and Scotland has its own landlord registration.
