Why choose DASH Landlord Accreditation

DASH specialises in accreditation and was launched over 15 years ago 

The scheme is a Local Authority run service, based within Derby City Council, on behalf of Council all across England

The DASH Accreditation package includes not only a nationally recognised training qualification but also a Virtual Inspection. 

Landlords use the Virtual Inspection as a ‘sense check’ to give them reassurance that their homes meet the necessary standards for letting ahead of any visit from the Local Authority for licensing purposes which shoudl issues arise result in costly notices, fines or legal action.
