If you want to pay the application fee by invoice, you need to submit your application by 2 September 2018. This is to make sure all invoices are processed and paid before the deadline on 1 October 2018. Any applications made after 2 September 2018 will have to be paid online.

How much does it cost to register?

The fee for registering depends on:

• the number of offices that your business has where letting agency work is carried out
• whether you applied to join the register, or re-register, within the stated deadlines

The application fee will be for a 3 year registration.

Existing agents applying before 1 October 2018 or, after this date, before they begin operating

The following application fees apply when:

• your business is currently carrying out letting agency work and you apply before 1 October 2018, or

Late applications

The following application fees apply when:

• your business fails to apply by the required deadline of 1 October 2018, or
• you're a new business who begins to carry out letting agency work after 1 October 2018 before you're admitted to the register.

Number of Offices	3-yearly fee
