DASH Landlord Accreditation is a paid for service

The cost to join DASH Landlord Accreditation depends on which Local Authority your property/ies are based in.

Some Local Authorities pay a subscription to DASH for landlords, in their area, to be accredited, therefore no fee is payable by the landlord.

This applies to the following Local Authorities:  

If you let properties in an area that is not listed above, for example Nottingham City Council or Portsmouth City Council then it is you as the landlord (rather than the Local Authority) who needs to pay to join DASH.

The following fees will apply upon application (for both new & renewal applications):

1- 5 properties                 £110+VAT
6 - 10 properties              £185+VAT
11 - 29 properties           £435+VAT
30 - 39 properties           £575+VAT

40+ properties  Please email dash@derby.gov.uk for a quote.

The fee payable is for the application, so it is important to ensure that you are committed to completing the DASH accreditation process. DASH fees are non-refundable - Refunds cannot be given more than 48 hours after the application has been received by DASH.

When you become accredited with DASH you will qualify to carry the ‘Nottingham Standard’ or DASH accreditation.

The Nottingham Standard is a local scheme in the city which may attracts certain benefits and discounting. it is worth noting that Nottingham City Council have informed us that landlords, who have properties which should have been licensed at the beginning of the Selective Licensing scheme (1^st August 2018), should have applied for accreditation before this date and obtained accreditation within a reasonable period of time, to benefit from the reduced licensing fee.
