Register your rental property · from 15 December 2026
Ready to register your rental property? Find out in two minutes.
Landlords in England must join the new PRS Database through the government's Register your rental property service. It runs from 15 December 2026, costs £65 a year per property, and every region must be done by 14 November 2027. Upload your gas, electrical and EPC certificates once: Redilet shows what's missing, works out every renewal date and can keep them for you.
You pay the £65 fee to the government, not to Redilet. Redilet doesn't register you. It finds missing or expired certificates first, so you can fix them before you register and avoid a fine. Current fee on GOV.UK

Readiness report
IllustrativeThis is what you get back
Upload your certificate photos, PDFs or a CSV and the checker returns a real readiness report. Every property is scored against its gas, electrical and EPC requirements, with expiry traffic-lights and any missing certificate flagged before you register.
Sample data — your report is built from your own certificates.
Check my certificates — no account needed →Never miss a renewal across your properties
One certificate's date is easy to remember. Three per property, each on its own cycle, across several properties, is not. Redilet reads them once, checks them against the rules and remembers every date for you.
Read once
Photograph or drop in your certificates. We read every date, so you never type one in, and work out the renewal date when the certificate doesn't print it.
Checked against the rules
Each property is checked against the rules for its kind of let: what's required, what's missing, and an EPC below the minimum band.
Remembered for you
Save your properties and every renewal date stays in one place. Turn on reminders and we email you before each one lapses.
From a folder of certificates to a readiness report
Three steps, about two minutes. We never keep your files. If you save your report, we keep only the dates.
Snap or upload
Photograph or drop in your CP12, EICR and EPC certificates — photos or PDFs, your whole portfolio in one go.
Matched to each property
We read the address, certificate type and dates, and work out the renewal date when it isn't printed. Gas safety records often only show the inspection date.
See your gaps, then save them
A property-by-property report shows what's ready, missing or lapsing. Save it free and every renewal date is kept in one place.
When to register your rental property
The property's location sets the deadline, not your home address. You can register any time from 15 December 2026, and the fee is £65 a year per property, paid to the government, not to Redilet. Not sure of your region? Look up your council.

The certificates to have ready
You'll need these where they apply to your property, along with a GOV.UK One Login, the property and rent details, and your own details.

Electrical Installation Condition Report

Dates, fee and requirements checked on 31 October 2026. Sources: Get ready to register (Housing Hub) · Government announcement (gov.uk) · Renters' Rights Act 2025 (legislation.gov.uk) · Guide to the Renters' Rights Act (gov.uk). Researched information, not legal advice.
Built for landlords, not letting-agent software
Your whole portfolio
One report across every property — not one spreadsheet tab each, and no per-property setup.
We don't keep your files
Your certificates are read in memory and then discarded. Save your report and we keep only the dates, never the files.
Ahead of the deadline
Fix gaps before your region's deadline, while there's time to book a renewal.
Not covered yet: HMO, selective and additional licences, and room lets in a shared house; long-term lets in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland; and letting agents managing properties for other landlords. If you need one of these, email support@sico.software and tell us which.
Holiday lets too
Holiday lets aren't on the rental property register, but each nation has its own rules. Choose your nation on the free check and it uses the right ones.
England
A written fire risk assessment, and a gas safety record every 12 months where there's gas.

PRS Database questions
What is the PRS Database?
The Private Rented Sector Database is a new register created by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Landlords in England join it through the government's Register your rental property service, registering themselves and each property. Landlords who don't register can be fined up to £7,000.
When do I have to register my rental property?
It depends where the property is, not where you live. Registration runs from 15 December 2026 and each region has its own deadline. The West Midlands deadline is 14 March 2027, and the last is 14 November 2027 in the South West. You can register any time from 15 December 2026.
How much does it cost to register a rental property?
£65 a year for each property, paid to the government through its Register your rental property service, not to Redilet. You renew it every year, and it's pro-rated during the rollout. Redilet's readiness check is free and doesn't register you: it finds certificate gaps first, so you can fix them before you register and avoid a fine.
What do I need to register my rental property?
You'll need a GOV.UK One Login, details of each property and its rent, your own details, and gas, electrical and energy performance certificates where they apply. Redilet reads your Gas Safety Record (CP12), Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and shows you what's missing or about to expire.
What are the fines for not registering?
Letting or advertising an unregistered property can bring a civil penalty of up to £7,000, rising to up to £40,000 or criminal prosecution for repeat or fraudulent breaches. You'll need valid safety certificates to let compliantly under the Act — which is what this checker helps you get in order.
Isn't the expiry date printed on the certificate?
Often, but not always. An EPC shows a valid-until date. An EICR usually gives a recommended next inspection date. A gas safety record often shows only the inspection date, and the 12-month renewal is the rule you have to know. Redilet works those out, keeps every date for every property in one place, and will remind you before each one lapses.
How much does Redilet cost?
The readiness check is free. Saving one property, with its certificate dates, is free. Reminders are free for every property until 15 December 2026. After that the first property stays free, and each extra property is a small yearly fee, shown before you pay.
Is this legal advice?
No. Redilet is a readiness checker, not a solicitor or compliance service — it flags which certificates are missing or lapsing so you can act. For the rules themselves, check gov.uk and legislation.gov.uk, or take professional advice.
Where do my photos go? Is the checker free and private?
The readiness checker is free and needs no sign-up. Your certificates are read to build your report and then discarded: we never keep your files. If you save your report to a free account, we keep the certificate types, dates and references, and you can delete them at any time.
Will Redilet email me?
If you leave your email on the free check, we send you a copy of the report and may reply once to ask how it went. If you make an account, we may send Redilet news now and then. You can say no when you sign up or any time after, and every news email has an unsubscribe link.
