Six things you can find out right now

Yes — all six, with no card and no account. Two of them ask for an email partway through: the agreement checker before it sends your report summary, and the advisor after the first question. Both stay free and complete either way, and each card on this page says so before you start rather than at the gate.

No. There is no registration step and nothing to pay. The compliance check, the room size checker, the licence fee lookup and the fine calculator ask for nothing at all beyond the details of the property you are asking about.

The property compliance check. It takes a postcode and returns the duties that apply at that address, including whether your council has designated a selective or additional licensing scheme over it — read from the council's own designation rather than from what has been written about it. The licence fee lookup then tells you what that council charges.

Yes, and they distinguish between them, which matters more than it sounds. The compliance check applies the Renting Homes (Wales) Act rather than the Renters' Rights Act to a Welsh property, and the room size checker gives no square-metre verdict in Wales at all — because Wales prescribes no national minimum room size and quoting the England figure would be a jurisdiction error.

Statute and councils' own published positions, cited on the answer. The room size checker names the paragraph of the regulations behind each verdict; the fine calculator carries the instrument beside every figure; the licence fee lookup quotes each council's own wording and the date we verified it. Where we do not hold something, the tool says so rather than filling the gap.

Monitoring rather than answers. The tools tell you where you stand today; a subscription tracks every certificate and deadline across your properties, emails you before they expire, and tells you when the law changes. The tools stay free whether you subscribe or not.
