The landlord registerin the West Midlands.
Landlords in the West Midlands can register from 15 December 2026. Their homes must be on the register by 14 March 2027. Here is what that means for a letting agent, and the dates to work back from.
Your dates
The landlord has to start each home’s entry and name your agency before you can do your part. Your agency then has 28 days to submit it. So the date that matters to you comes well before the deadline.
This window covers places such as Birmingham, Coventry, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Herefordshire, Sandwell, Shropshire, Walsall, Warwick, Dudley. The deadline follows the home, so check any homes near a regional border.

What it willtake your team.
Each home is its own link and password, and there is no bulk upload. Letting agents who tested the register took 20 to 25 minutes a home (Kamma, 2026).
Your agency’s part asks for any licence, the tenants and households, the furnishing, the rent and bills, and the gas, electrical and energy certificates. Your agency is responsible for the accuracy of what it submits.
