Becoming an accredited landlord is simple!

Contact the Landlord Accreditation Team on 0151 691 8132 or email lat@wirral.gov.uk for an Application Pack.

Complete and return the enclosed application form. The form includes the Tenant and Landlord Charters and Self-Certification Electrical Installation Certificate which should be signed by you.

Return the application Form together with a copy of:

- Up to date gas safety certificate

- Tenancy agreement

A member of Wirral's Landlord Accreditation Team will contact your tenant direct to arrange an accreditation assessment of the property. Properties must be found free from Category 1 hazards as identified by the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. This rating system came into force in April 2006 under the Housing Act 2004 and replaces the fitness standard.

If your property meets the requirements of the code of standards and you have returned the necessary documentation (as above) your certificate will be forwarded to you.
