Landlord register pack for letting agents

GOV.UK says landlords must register themselves and each home, region by region from 15 December 2026, starting in the West Midlands. Your landlords will ask you. This is a plain-English pack, branded as yours, that you can send them.

Status at 5 November 2026

The pack follows GOV.UK’s guidance for landlords and for letting agents and property managers, published on 29 October 2026, and the sample below is real, for a fictional agency. Part of the detail is still in draft: the Private Rented Sector Database Regulations 2026 had not been made as a statutory instrument when we checked. The pack says plainly which rules are draft, and we send you an updated pack if something changes. This is general information, not legal advice.

What your landlords get

A PDF with your logo and name on every page, a line saying “Prepared for landlords of” your agency, and a cover letter from you. It is for landlords of homes in England.

  • Cover letter from your agency (also as a Word file you can edit), with the registration dates for the regions you cover.
  • Quick-start guide: who must register, the region-by-region dates, the £65 per property fee and how it is pro-rated during the rollout, the 28-day, 3-month and 12-month rules, and what the register asks for.
  • Forms and checklists: landlord details sheet, letting agent handover sheet (what the landlord has agreed you will supply, the email address they give the service, and how access links and passwords work), property page, document checklist, property data sheet, deadline calendar, 28-day change log, renewals and reminders, fee and payment log.
  • Written from GOV.UK’s guidance of 29 October 2026, its Housing Hub page, the draft Regulations and the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 on legislation.gov.uk, with each section’s sources listed. Where a rule is not in force yet, the pack says “when commenced”.

It does not register anyone. GOV.UK says the landlord must start each registration, pay the fee and stay responsible for it. Once a property has its number and is occupied, the service can send your agency a link to provide the tenancy and safety details. The pack makes that division clear, so your landlords know what you will and will not do.

The dates the pack explains

South West15 August 202714 November 2027

The deadline depends on where the property is, not where the landlord lives. GOV.UK says that after a region’s deadline, councils there can start enforcement.

See a sample first

The sample is a 15-page extract for a fictional agency, “Samplestone Lettings”, with a SAMPLE watermark on every page. It shows the cover, the cover letter, an About page, the guide, the agent handover sheet and the deadline calendar. The full pack also has the other sheets listed above.

Price and licence

£149 a year for one letting agency (one legal entity, all its branches). You send us your logo and details; we email your branded pack within 5 working days.

Prefer to pay by invoice? Email us your agency’s legal name and billing address and we will send an invoice for £149 from TurboKast Ltd, payable by bank transfer within 14 days. We start your branded pack when it is paid, and the same licence terms apply.

Licence terms in short:

  • What you may do. Give the branded pack, in print or by email, to landlords whose homes you let or manage, and put it on your own website or landlord portal. Edit the cover letter.
  • What you may not do. Resell or give the files to other agencies, or remove the Plainfiles credit and the “not legal advice” notices.
  • Twelve months. The licence runs for 12 months from payment. It does not renew by itself.
  • Updates included. If the Regulations are made, or GOV.UK changes a date, the fee or the information asked for, we re-check the content and email you an updated branded pack. We aim to do this within 10 working days of the change and cannot promise a timescale.
  • Refund. Ask within 14 days of payment, before you have sent the pack to landlords, and we refund in full. Email support@turbokast.com.
  • Not advice, not a registration service. The pack is general information for landlords. Your landlords should check GOV.UK for their own situation. You stay responsible for what you tell your own clients.

The checkout asks you to accept these terms and the terms of use, and card payment is by Stripe. If you pay by invoice, paying it accepts the same terms.

Questions

Does the pack register landlords?

No. GOV.UK says landlords must start all property registrations and pay the fee. A letting agent can then provide the tenancy and safety details through a link the service sends for each property, and GOV.UK says using that feature is voluntary. The pack includes a handover sheet to record what you and the landlord have agreed.

Which regions does it cover?

England only: all nine regions, with the dates above. Scotland has its own landlord registration and Wales and Northern Ireland are not covered.

The Regulations are a draft. Is it safe to send this now?

The pack states the status plainly: the Regulations were not yet made on 5 November 2026, and penalties and the court possession rule in the Act are described as “when commenced”, because as far as we can find they are not yet in force as duties. The dates and the fee come from GOV.UK. If any of that changes you get an update.
