Before you make an application it is a good idea to read the Scheme Manual and make sure that you understand and agree to keep to the standards as therse are the "terms and conditions" that you will be signing up to. Once you are happy, go to the DASH home page and click the Apply Now button.

You will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions and the privacy policy. You can then start to set your login details and provide your contact details. Work your way through the form detailing whether the application is for a landlord or a company, completing the self assessment and any agent details.

Once done you will be given a DASH membership number straight away. e.g DASH26414

You then need to register all the properies you own and let. Failure to disclose all properties or any ongoing Local Authority issues to DASH at this point will result in the application being cancelled.

When the application is received DASH will email you with the 3 steps which you need to work through to gain your accreditation. These are:

Ø The membership fee 

Ø  Details to complete the Landlord Development Foundation course 

Ø  Have a health and safety inspection of 10% of your property list. You will need to complete any works identified by the DASH inspectors.  

Your accreditation will be awarded once the 3 steps are completed.
