Hi,
Thanks for the information. I have been trying to find out when all Landlords will have to be registered. Can anyone point me to a place I can read about it or tell me when?
Dont think its been announced yet. All thats been said is ‘from late 2026’
"In the second phase from late 2026, we will introduce our innovative Database of PRS properties to bring together key information for landlords, tenants, and councils. The Database content will inform tenant choices when entering new tenancies; will help landlords understand their obligations and demonstrate compliance; and will support councils in targeting enforcement.
In this phase we will establish a Landlord Ombudsman for the PRS to improve dispute resolution, settling issues between tenants and landlords without costly court proceedings."
Also
"The government has confirmed a phased rollout, with the database expected to become operational in late 2026 and registration being rolled out progressively through 2027 as the system beds in. The service, named “Register your rental property”, was already beta-tested with a group of landlords in mid-2026, who registered real properties and were issued with a Landlord Registration Number and a Property Registration Number, so the shape of the live system is now reasonably clear.
"
Best
Thank you for this information!
