the Council’s accreditation scheme.
Looking at the official write up I was under the impression as I believe many others were that it was a one off fee of GBP 500,00 to get the licence/paperwork & it then applied to all the buildings owned by the Landlord, but from what you're saying it's GBP 500,00 per building which will not only make the whole process even more expensive, I believe it will encourage Landlords to shy away from the plan & try by other means to get round the system.

They will not be able to 'shy away' plan as without a license for the property they will not be able to let it out and there will be penalties for not having a license.
