King's Lynn and West Norfolk landlord register deadline

Landlords letting homes in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk council area (part of Norfolk) are in the East of England region of England's new landlord register, the Private Rented Sector Database. Homes let on an assured or regulated tenancy, which is most private lets, must be registered on GOV.UK's "Register your rental property" service by 14 April 2027. The East of England window runs from 15 January 2027 to 14 April 2027, and you can register early, from 15 December 2026.

Letbinder is an independent app, not the government's service. It doesn't register you.

What you'll need

• Your details, once: name, date of birth, home address, phone and email. Companies and trusts give different details, and joint landlords each register.
• For each property: the address, a correspondence address in England or Wales and an email, the ownership type, the type of home and bedrooms, whether it's let, and the name and email of any freeholder, superior landlord or property manager.
• If it's let: how many people and households live there, whether it needs an HMO, additional or selective licence (and its number), the rent, how often it's paid and whether bills are included, whether it's furnished, the gas safety record (if there's gas) and its date, the electrical report (EICR) and its expiry date, the EPC (if you had to give the tenant one), and any minimum energy standard (MEES) exemption.
• 28 days for the let details. You can add them within 28 days, counting the day you register: register on 15 December and they're due by 11 January. If they're late, the property's entry becomes inactive.

Good to know

• Only let homes, for now. During the rollout you need to register homes that are let, or become let. GOV.UK Housing Hub
• Council licences are separate. If the home needs an HMO, additional or selective licence, you still need it; the register asks whether you need one and for its number. Draft regulations
• You make the registration, not your agent. You, or someone with legal authority to act for you, start each one; your letting agent can add the tenancy, rent and safety details. GOV.UK Housing Hub
