When do I have to register on the PRS database? Check by postcode

It depends on where the property is, not where you live. The service opens on 15 December 2026 for the first region, and each of the nine English regions has its own start date and a three-month window to register before councils can begin enforcement. Enter the property's postcode above for its dates.

£65 per property, per year, as confirmed on 9 September 2026. The calculator multiplies it by the number of properties you enter in England.

The rollout is set by region, and the government has not yet published which councils sit in which region. This tool matches each postcode to the standard region for its council, as shown on the regional pages, which is the best available reading until the service publishes its own map.

Each property takes the deadline of its own region. You can register them all in one sitting once the service opens, but each must be done before its own region's deadline. The results list each one separately and the last deadline across them.

The address and number of bedrooms, who lives there and the rent, and copies of the current gas safety certificate, electrical report and EPC, plus any licence number. The results end with a checklist you can download.

Yes. A postcode in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland is shown as outside this database.

They are sent to our server, which looks up the council and region with postcodes.io, a free public postcode service, and returns the answer. Nothing is stored. Enter the property's postcode, not your home address.
