Membership fees are an annual subscription, invoiced quarterly. Your first fee is based on the number of deposits you register when joining the Scheme. All agents renew their membership each April, and the annual subscription is calculated by a snapshot of your registered tenancies. Discounts are applied to the base rate for loyalty and good performance.
