In this instance, I'd prefer to look at the merits of the scheme rather than simply the money aspect of it. The Salford model has yielded fruit in terms of happier tenants and better upkeep of rental properties, plus landlords are less likely to flout the rules if it means being publicly evicted from an accreditation scheme.
There are certain things which require far more regulation than they already have and rental housing is one of them. Bring it on.
