Still going through Parliament. The dates and the fee are the government’s published plan, and the regulations that make them law are waiting for Parliament’s approval. What happens if you don’t register applies once they’re in force. We’ll update this as soon as they are. Draft Private Rented Sector Database Regulations 2026; GOV.UK’s dates.

Not sure which region?
Regions go by council, not by compass, and a few councils aren’t where you’d expect. Put in the postcode and we’ll tell you.
Good to know
- The deadline goes with the home, not with you.
- It costs £65 per property per year, less during the rollout.
- After that, all your properties renew together, once a year.
