Reply to the comment left by Small Portfolio Landlord at 11/09/2026 - 12:08My concern is not the £65 per annum. It is the security of sensitive personal data. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/lawful-basis/a-guide-to-lawful-basis/special-category-data/ The Information Commissioners Office expects landlords to register if they are...

Reply to the comment left by David Payne at 10/09/2026 - 16:33I think the big difference is that the proposal is that this thing will be public. You wouldn't expect HMRC to publish your sensitive financial information in public, would...
