House of Lettings office serving this area
Thinking of letting a property in Headingley, or looking for your next home here? Our Leeds office team can help with homes in LS6 and the surrounding areas.
Headingley is one of the most sought-after rental areas in Leeds, famous for its cricket and rugby stadium, the bars and independents of North Lane, and a steady stream of students and young professionals from the nearby universities. The housing stock is classic red-brick Victorian terraces (ideal for HMOs and sharers) alongside a growing number of professional flats and refurbished period conversions.
We let and manage a wide range of Headingley property, from four and five-bed student houses to one-bed professional apartments. With demand this consistent, well-presented homes at the right rent are typically reserved well before tenancies end, and our team handles the compliance, referencing and renewals that keep LS6 landlords fully let year on year.

Use the actual address and your own daily routine to judge whether this part of Headingley, Leeds feels right for you.
Use Cottage Road and the surrounding streets as a starting point, then walk to the address rather than judging the whole of Headingley from one busy junction. The character of a road can change quickly between shops, student houses and quieter residential stretches.
For a shared house, count the bathrooms against the number of occupants and see whether the kitchen has enough storage for everyone. Check where bins are kept and how the household handles cleaning before you commit.
Use the area information above to plan your visit, then check the individual home. Ask which rooms are included, how the heating works and what the advertised rent covers.
Check ventilation, signs of persistent damp, storage and the route you would use for work or study. Ask about repair reporting and the energy certificate before deciding.
