 A new scheme to improve private rented accommodation and benefit both landlords and tenants across North Somerset is to be introduced.
The North Somerset Property Accreditation Scheme is free to join, has been developed for landlords by landlords and will be administered by North Somerset Council.
The scheme will look at the physical quality and management of private rented accommodation and then award accreditation status. There are two levels of accreditation, "Accreditation" which is entry level and "Accreditation Plus" the higher standard.
Once accreditation has been awarded, landlords will be able to benefit from the scheme incentives. There will be various discounts offered from companies across North Somerset, including, discounts with electricians, plumbers as well as DIY stores and energy assessors. The list of benefits is ever increasing.
