Best Landlord Accreditation scheme?

Landlord Discussion

I’ve been instructed by Lewisham council to become an accredited landlord?

Can anyone recommend which accreditation body is best? I have the option of:

London Landlord Accreditation Scheme

National Residential Landlords Association

Property Mark

Safe Agent

Or maybe any other recommendations. Tbh I don’t think I’ll need five years as I may have sold both my properties by then.

Thanks for your help.

I doubt the Council has instructed you. They have probably suggested that you will get a discount on your selective licence if you do become accredited. Check with their website which accreditation schemes they recognise.

Lewisham’s website actually says…

Accreditation must be verified through membership in recognised associations such as the … or the ….

So that tells you where to go. However, bear in mind that accreditation with the latter involves you gaining 5 core CPD points and that you have to pay £55 and spend some time doing elearning courses. Not sure how much time you have to throw at that or whether that expense will offset your discount.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother in your case.
