Welcome to the Southampton Accreditation Scheme for Student Housing (SASSH), the only place students can find university approved housing in Southampton.
The properties we advertise and endorse are checked for quality and are actively promoted to students by both the University of Southampton and Solent University Southampton. The scheme is also supported by Southampton City Council as the only student housing accreditation scheme in the city.
We are delighted that you are considering joining the scheme as we are dedicated to offering our students the opportunity to access good quality and well-managed accommodation.

If you are a letting agent wanting to join SASSH there are a couple of extra things we need to check:
