Plan your property registration for the new PRS Database and write a brief for your letting agent
The problem
The government says the 'Register your rental property' service will open on 15 December 2026, starting in the West Midlands, with the rest of England following region by region. The regulations that would set the duty are still in draft and have not yet been made, so details could change. The government's hub page says landlords must start the registration themselves, that a letting agent may be able to upload some information for them, and that each property has a deadline based on its location. A landlord with several properties needs a plan and a clear message to the agent. AI can turn your property list and the hub's text into a plan. It does not say that you must register or what a deadline is in law.
What AI does
AI turns the official government information you copy and a coded list of your properties into a registration plan and a short brief for your letting agent. The rules are still in draft, so you check every date against the official pages and recheck them before acting (England).
Time
The steps, in short
- Copy the official government guidance on the new property register, noting the date.
- List your properties by code, not address, with the details the plan needs.
- Have AI draft the plan and a brief for your agent from what you pasted.
- Check every date against the official pages, then diary them and recheck regularly.
