Landlord Accreditation Scheme

Being a private landlord can be quite an overwhelming task, as you are required to have a variety of skills and a wide range of knowledge. This includes understanding your legal obligations as a landlord, assessing the property and organising any necessary repairs.

The Landlord Accreditation Scheme (LLAS) is a partnership of landlord organisations and London councils. LLAS has organised a development programme to offer landlords information, skills and confidence in their knowledge to improve the running of an existing portfolio or to help plan the start of a new one.

Accreditation lasts for five years and some of the benefits include:

• Recognition across London that you are a good landlord or agent.
• Possible access to grants to improve your premises.
• Further training and seminars.
• Regularly updated reference material.
• Regular news updates.

LLAS is supported by the London Borough of Richmond and we hold two training courses per year. The next training course is on the 24 May 2012. To find out more you can download the LLAS leaflet(pdf, 282KB).
