Companies House headquarters — new identity verification rules mean limited company landlords must act to stay compliant and protect their property busines

If you’re a landlord operating through a limited company, there’s an important legal change you need to know about.

Under the new Companies House identity verification rules, all company directors — including landlords managing rental properties — must verify their identity. These reforms are part of the government’s plan to make UK companies more transparent, tackle fraud, and ensure only verified individuals can control limited companies.

⚠️ What This Means for Limited Company Landlords

If you’re listed as a director or person with significant control (PSC) for your property company, you’ll soon be required to complete identity verification through Companies House or an authorised agent.

Failure to comply could lead to:

  • 🚫 Being unable to register or update company details
  • 💸 Financial penalties and administrative restrictions
  • ❌ Loss of the right to act as a company director

These rules apply to both existing and new limited companies — so now is the time to get informed and stay compliant.

Cardiff landlords: are you confident you’re following the new rules on abandoned rental properties?
The Renting Homes (Safeguarding Property in Abandoned Dwellings) (Wales) Regulations 2022 set out strict legal steps you must follow before reclaiming possession. Skip them — even by accident — and you could face serious legal trouble, delays, or financial loss.

Under these regulations, landlords in Wales are required to serve formal abandonment notices, safeguard tenants’ belongings, and follow clear timelines before taking back a property. It’s designed to protect both landlords and tenants, but it also means the old “assumed abandonment” approach is no longer enough.

At Rooms in Cardiff, we’ve seen too many landlords caught out by the new process — losing time, money, and peace of mind. Our expert letting team helps Cardiff landlords stay fully compliant while protecting their investments.

⚠️ Don’t Risk Getting It Wrong

Before you post that abandonment notice or clear a property, make sure you understand exactly what the law requires.
