Unipol properties
Unipol can help you find a place for your family, either with a University property or with a private letting in the city.
Unipol, a registered charity dealing with student accommodation, owns some of our properties.
The University of Leeds has exclusive access (100% nomination rights) to a number of its family accommodation, but your contract is with Unipol not the University. Please see profiles of the different residences below.
Visit the Unipol Family website for more information about the different residences, including availability and advice on house hunting in Leeds/UK.

Size
Most Unipol properties are refurbished flats that are comfortable and cheap to run.
Unipol also have a few houses with four bedrooms suitable for large families, but these are in very short supply. If you have a large family (4 children or above) contact families@unipol.org.uk before you come to Leeds to see if one is becoming available. Rents vary depending on the location and size of the property.
Utility bills
Please see each property profile to see what utility bills are included.
Contract length
Your contract with Unipol will run for one year and can be renewed until you finish your course or leave the University (provided you continue to pay your rent).
Contract start and deposit
You must:
- come and view the property before you sign your contract
- pay a deposit of £500 plus one month's rent in advance. If your tenancy begins mid-month, you pay just the remainder of the month's rent.
