It’s October. University has started. Your coursemates are settling into their houses.
And you’re still searching for student accommodation in Leeds.
First things first: don’t panic.
There are plenty of reasons why students might still need somewhere to live after the academic year has started. Perhaps your original plans have fallen through. You’ve transferred university. You came to Leeds later than expected. Your current accommodation isn’t right for you. Or maybe you simply left the search later than planned.
Whatever the reason, finding student accommodation in Leeds after September doesn’t automatically mean you’ve missed your chance.
At the time of writing, rentinc still has a selection of student properties in Leeds listed as available now, including options in popular student locations such as Hyde Park and around Kirkstall Road.
Here’s what to do next.
Yes.
Although a large proportion of students secure their accommodation before the academic year begins, properties and rooms can still become available during the year.
Availability naturally becomes more limited, which means you may need to be flexible about your exact location, property size or whether you live with an existing group.
The most important thing is to start looking now.
Rather than endlessly scrolling through listings, speak directly to a lettings team that understands the Leeds student market.
At rentinc, we specialise in student and professional accommodation across Leeds and can help you understand which properties are currently available and which options could suit you.
Availability can change quickly, so always check the individual property listing or speak to the rentinc team before making plans.
However, at the time of writing, here are some examples currently listed on the rentinc website.
Looking for somewhere right in the middle of student life?
3 Hessle Street is currently listed as available now and sits in the heart of Hyde Park.
The property has four bedrooms and is currently advertised with both all-inclusive and non-inclusive rental options.
Hyde Park is particularly popular with students thanks to its location between the universities, Headingley and the city centre.
That means plenty of cafés, takeaways, pubs and student favourites close by – plus a relatively straightforward journey to university.
Another four-bedroom option currently listed as available now is Flat 1, 1 Victoria Road.
Located just off Hyde Park Corner, the property is within walking distance of the University of Leeds and local amenities. Inside, there’s a large living room, fitted kitchen and modern shower room.
If you’re searching as a group of four and want to be close to the action, this is certainly one to consider.
Need something slightly bigger?
Flat 2, 1 Victoria Road offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms in a prime Hyde Park location.
The property has five furnished double bedrooms, a large lounge and fitted kitchen, while its position near Hyde Park Corner puts students within easy walking distance of the University of Leeds.
It’s another good example of why it’s worth checking what’s available rather than assuming all larger student properties disappeared before September.
For smaller groups, Flat 1, 396 Kirkstall Road is currently listed as a three-bedroom student apartment available now.
Kirkstall Road can be a useful base for students wanting access towards both the city centre and the wider student areas, and this property is currently advertised from £99.99 per person per week non-inclusive.
Another current three-bedroom option is 38 Hessle Avenue.
The rentinc listing describes it as a modern three-bedroom house near the university and city centre, with spacious living and a contemporary finish. It is currently shown as available now.
Again, current availability and pricing can change, so contact the team before setting your heart on a particular property.
Don’t assume you need to arrive with an entire group.
House-share and room-only opportunities can sometimes be available too.
This can actually be a great option if you’ve arrived in Leeds on your own, your original housing plans have changed or you simply don’t have a group to rent with.
rentinc currently advertises accommodation for students, professionals and postgraduates, including house-share options.
Tell our team what you need and we can explain the current options.
When you’re moving after term has already started, simplicity can be particularly valuable.
Some larger rentinc properties are available with all-inclusive rental options. Depending on the individual property, all-inclusive rents typically cover gas, electricity, water, internet and contents insurance, subject to fair-usage terms. Exact inclusions are shown on the individual listing and tenancy agreement.
It means fewer separate household bills to organise when you’re already trying to catch up with lectures, unpack and settle into university life.
Always check exactly what is included before signing.
If you find somewhere you like, don’t wait too long.
October availability is naturally more limited than earlier in the student lettings cycle.
Book a viewing, ask your questions and make sure you understand the costs and tenancy arrangements.
If you’re searching with friends, get everyone involved early too. There is nothing worse than finding a house you all like and then spending four days waiting for someone to reply to the group chat.
You know exactly who you are.
Even if you need accommodation quickly, don’t completely abandon your checklist.
Think about:
Distance to university
Public transport
Bedroom sizes
Kitchen and communal space
Bathrooms
Furnishings
Rent
Deposit
Whether bills are included
Local supermarkets and amenities
Your route home after a night out
Ask questions if anything is unclear.
The rentinc team can talk you through the property, tenancy and costs so you know what you’re signing up for.
Starting university without your accommodation properly sorted can feel stressful.
But scrolling through endless listings and assuming everything has gone isn’t going to solve it.
There are still student properties available in Leeds.
At the time of writing, the rentinc website lists a range of available accommodation, from three and four-bedroom properties to larger houses and house-share opportunities.
The important thing is to act quickly.
Tell us your budget, preferred location, group size and what you need from your accommodation, and our team can help you understand your options.
Search current properties through rentinc student accommodation in Leeds, call 0113 220 0040 or contact the rentinc team to arrange a viewing.
