About the share offer
SEASALT housing co-operative is a sustainable investment and we have raised funds through a share offer from Brighton and Hove Community Land Trust (BHCLT). By investing in the share offer our investors have enabled BHCLT to start purchasing their first property, which it will lease to SEASALT (us), a student housing co-operative. BHCLT’s long-term aim is to mobilise community investment in housing across the city to support their different community-led housing groups and projects to create homes that are secure and of community benefit forever.
Our share offer was run through Ethex, a sustainable investment platform. We hope to purchase our first house soon and start generating revenue. We already have a mortgage in principle with an ethical ‘bank’ called Ecology Building society.
