How much does it cost to register a rental property?
The government says £65 per property per year. The fee is charged per property, not per landlord. During the rollout the fee is pro-rated.
The detail
The government says the fee is £65 per property per year, paid each time you register or renew a property. During the rollout the fee will be pro-rated, so registering early does not cost you more.
Note: The regulations do not fix the amount; the database operator sets it, so it can change (for example with inflation). The exact pro-rated amounts have not been published.
