PRS Database fee calculator

Last checked 28 September 2026

The government has set the registration fee at £65 a year for each property. It's charged per property, not per landlord, so the total grows with your portfolio.

Fee by number of properties

Properties	Per year	Over 5 years
1	£65	£325
2	£130	£650
3	£195	£975
5	£325	£1,625
10	£650	£3,250
25	£1,625	£8,125
50	£3,250	£16,250
100	£6,500	£32,500

At the full £65 rate. That's about £5.42 a month per property.

How the fee works

Per property, every year. The fee is £65 for each property you register, and you pay it again when you renew each year.
Paid up front. Under the regulations a property entry can't be made until the fee is paid.
Pro-rated during the rollout. The government says the fee will be adjusted during the rollout so that those who sign up first don't pay more. It hasn't published the exact calculation, so your first payment may be less than the figures here.
One renewal date. If you have two or more properties, later ones take the renewal date of your first, so your whole portfolio renews together.
The amount can change. The regulations don't fix the fee; the database operator sets it by reference to its costs.
No discounts announced. We have found no published discount for large portfolios, charities or accredited landlords.

Not paying is not a saving: letting without registering risks a penalty of up to £7,000, and a court can't give you possession on most grounds while you're unregistered. See fees and penalties.
