Am I guaranteed a discount on license fee?
No, DASH Landlord Accreditation cannot guarantee any discounts or reduced licensing fees.
DASH is set up to recognise good landlords by giving a quality mark along with useful training and support over a 3 year period. There are a number of reasons why accreditation isn’t granted straight away and therefore we cannot guarantee a timescale to complete the process.
A useful example:
A landlord in Nottingham applies to gain the ‘Nottingham Standard’ via DASH landlord accreditation and pays DASH a fee of £110+vat.
Gaining a 'discount' on their selective license was the key driver in joining DASH.
The landlord doesn’t complete the accreditation process in time and therefore doesn’t benefit from the reduced license fee – in the case the accreditation fee would NOT be refunded.
it is worth noting that Nottingham City Council have informed us that landlords, who have properties that should have been licensed at the beginning of the Selective Licensing scheme (1st Dec. 2023), should have applied for accreditation before this date and obtained it within a reasonable period of time, to benefit from the reduced licensing fee for more information on NCC's fee policy please visit
