Register a high-rise residential building
It is a legal requirement to register high-rise residential buildings that are at least 7 floors high, or 18 metres tall or higher, with two or more residential units.
The fee to register each building is £251.
If you are the principal accountable person for your building or have been authorised to complete registration on their behalf, you can begin your application.

Structure and safety information
As part of your application, you are required to provide information about your building’s structure and safety.
There is no additional fee for submitting the structure and safety information.
What happens next
Once you have paid and submitted your registration application, the Building Safety Regulator will review the details so that it can be satisfied the building should appear in the register.
We may contact you for more information, or if we think the building does not need to be registered. The information you have provided during registration will help you when you start to assess the building’s risks as part of your safety case report. It will also be used by the Building Safety Regulator to help it prioritise buildings for the building assessment certificate process from April 2024.
