Landlord Accreditation Wales
The Landlord Accreditation Wales Scheme is a national scheme of
which Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is a
member.
It recognises good landlords and helps them differentiate
themselves from less reputable landlords who give the rental market
a bad name. It also allows tenants to seek out professional
landlords who offer good, well managed accommodation.
It works by accrediting the landlord, not the property,
therefore identifying the participants as competent and
professional in their dealings with their properties and tenants,
and with the skills necessary to run a successful
business.
As an organisation LAW supports landlords with information and
guidance on changes in legislation as well as sharing best
practice. LAW is recognised by its distinctive logo (shown), which
members are able to use as a badge to demonstrate their
professionalism and gain market advantage.
Further information can be obtained by going to the Landlord Accreditation Wales
website|.
The new edition of the Landlord Handbook, published by LACORS
and ANUK in consultation with the LAW scheme is now available to
download from the LAW website. The manual contains the basic
level of knowledge required for a landlord. It compliments the
content of the Landlord Accreditation Course and is a useful
reference document. It is intended to benefit a range of landlords
and letting agents. It is not designed to be specific to any
locality or for landlords of particular types of properties. It
allows for the diversity that exists in the Private Rented Sector
(PRS). It relates equally to property standards, management and
landlord and tenancy matters.
