Government to Roll Out PRS Rental Database in England from Late 2026

The UK government will begin a regional rollout of a Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database in England from late 2026. This will be delivered through the new ‘Register your rental property’ service.

As part of the second phase of the Renters Rights Act implementation, landlords of assured or regulated tenancies will be required to register both themselves and each property they let.

This development is relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks, as it introduces new registration requirements for properties and landlords in the private rented sector.
