Reply to the comment left by John Clegg at 26/10/2026 - 11:17Hi John. Honest answer: MHCLG hasn’t confirmed this for room-by-room HMOs yet. On a strict reading of ss.63 and 75, each room let on its own assured tenancy is...

Thanks DPT, a fair question. The registration deadlines in the article are the Government’s published ones from its GOV.UK guidance, which is why the table is attributed to that source. You are right that they do not appear in the...

Good question, MPD. I haven’t seen anything published that confirms whether beta test entries carry over to the live service, so I wouldn’t want to guess. The test was a trial, so it may be safer to assume you’ll need...

David, I'll offer a view rather than advice, and it's only my reading. The first hurdle for any challenge is that the database sits in an Act of Parliament, and a court wouldn't ordinarily invalidate primary legislation through judicial review,...

I think that's exactly where the pain will be. It's not just a one-off registration, the draft regs give you 28 days to update the entry whenever something in it changes, and rent and the gas record are both required...

Hi John, it should be one fee, not two. Under the draft Database Regulations the fee attaches to the property registration, not the person. Reg 6(5) charges it when the property entry is made and reg 10(2) on each renewal,...

Good question. As far as I know, there is no public register of achieved rents the way the Land Registry gives us sold prices. The nearest sources: a local letting agent, who will often confirm recent lets in writing; the...

Thanks JB, fair questions. The "recent improvements" point was about your own property, not the comparables. That just means dated photos and receipts for any work you have done. Improvements carried out by the tenant themselves are disregarded under section...

Good question, and it is an easy one to trip on because two months was the Section 21 period for so long. The four months comes from section 8(4AA) of the Housing Act 1988, inserted by the RRA. The date...

Thank you for this, it is exactly the sort of point I was hoping someone would test, and I may well be missing something. My reading of 16M(4)(b) is a little different. As I read it, (4)(b) only applies to...

DPT, you're onto something real. The Act does create a duty to keep your database entry up to date once you're registered, and failing to keep active entries current sits in the first tier of civil penalties, so up to...

Reply to the comment left by Matthew Jude at 30/06/2026 - 11:49Hello Matthew Thank you, that is very kind, and it is a thoughtful question that I suspect a lot of landlords with guarantors are now facing. I would rather...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 30/06/2026 - 11:26Hi Ian Thank you, and you are quite right. The issue is consent, not whether the increase is a variation, and a well-drawn deed should provide for exactly that....

Hi CP, Honestly, I’m not sure how a rent-collection-only arrangement sits against the GOV.UK wording, which refers to an agent who “manages the property on your behalf.” That’s one worth checking with your agent or the NRLA directly, or someone...

Hi CP, On the tenant who hasn't replied, you don't need a reply. As long as you sent the PDF as an attachment (not a link) and can evidence that, you've met your obligation. Keeping a copy of the sent...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 22/05/2026 - 09:04Thank you, Paul. That’s a fair point, if the information sheet has had this little traction, it’s hard to imagine EICR and EPC awareness being any better. Those requirements...
