Welcome to SEASALT housing co-operative!
'Our vision is of a student led initiative for affordable housing, democratic living and long term sustainability'
Who are you?
Founded in 2018, we are a student housing co-operative based in Brighton. As a housing co-operative, property is owned and managed by its residents, putting an end to unresponsive landlords, poor quality housing and spiralling rents.
We are currently raising £260,000 to buy our first house through a share offer with Brighton and Hove Community Land Trust (BHCLT) and working towards creating the first Student housing co-operative in the South East.

Hearing more about SEASALT is so inspiring. They are leading the way tackling a really huge problem of exorbitant rents, unresponsive landlords and poor quality student housing at the source. I am really proud that the first student led housing cooperative in the South East will be in Brighton. I hope its profile will increase so more students take the initiative to set up housing co-operatives around the country.
It is no secret that we face a housing crisis, both across our city and our country, and that young people face the sharp end of it. A young people's housing cooperative is a fantastic initiative that will help ensure we are not pricing young people out of Brighton. The cooperative's values are in line with Council objectives and this innovative, affordable housing initiative, which will be owned by the community, is exactly the sort of thing we should be encouraging across our city.
Thank You To all Our Supporters
