England's landlord register opens one region at a time from 15 December 2026. Each region has three months, and the last deadline is 14 November 2027. The deadline follows the property, not where you live.
How to use the Landlord Register Date Checker
- Enter the postcode of the home you let.
- Pick the day you plan to register, from 15 December 2026.
- Select Check my dates.
- Read the region's opening day and deadline, then your first payment and the yearly fee after it.
How the Landlord Register Date Checker works
The first payment for a home covers the days from 15 November 2027 to its renewal date. Days before 15 November 2027 are free.
- Registered 15 December 2026: a 365-day year with 335 free days, so £65 ÷ 365 × 30 = £5.34.
- Registered 25 June 2027: a 366-day year with 143 free days, so £65 ÷ 366 × 223 = £39.60.

Can I register before my region opens?

How much does it cost to register?
£65 a year for each home. Registering yourself as a landlord is free. Days before 15 November 2027 are not charged, so a home registered on 15 December 2026 pays £5.34 for its first period.
When is the yearly fee due?
Each year on your renewal date, one year from the day you registered your first home. Homes you add later share that date.
What do I need before I register a home?
The home's address and tenancy details, and its certificates: the gas safety record and its issue date if there is a gas supply, the electrical safety report (EICR) with its next inspection date, and the energy performance certificate (EPC).
Do I need to register an empty home?
Not yet. Only homes that are let need registering now.
What if the home is in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?
England's register covers homes in England only. Scotland has the Scottish Landlord Register, Wales has Rent Smart Wales and Northern Ireland has its Landlord Registration Scheme.
