Information for new members

Since opening the Nottingham service in 2007, Unipol worked with landlords, the students' unions, both universities (Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham) and the Councils, to put together a new accreditation Code for student housing. The new Unipol DASH Code was launched on 1st August 2008.

There is a small fee that covers the administration of processing new accreditation applications. The fee varies depending on how many properties you have:

 The fee enables a landlord to join the Unipol DASH Code from now until 31st July 2014. Further information can be found about the Code here as can the sampling methods we use to inspect properties.

The fee is payable when you return your Code Declaration Form to us and the fee must have been paid before you are issued with a certificate, at which point your membership is completed.

You can pay online here, by cheque (payable to Unipol Student Homes), or by credit or debit card by calling in at the office or telephoning 0115 846 8599.

The Unipol DASH Code has a "thumbs up" logo so that the landlords, the universities, colleges and the students' unions can market the Code easily.

 Following a large piece of research that was undertaken in 2008, 92% of students in Nottingham said they valued the Code as an important part of their decision-making process about letting, so we believe that being a member of the Code will turn into a real marketing advantage.

If you want any further information, or wish to discuss any aspect of the Code with a member of Unipol's staff then feel free to contact us, by phone or in writing at any time.
