International Students

Coming to us from afar? You can book virtual tours of the room spaces before you reserve it, meaning you choose the room that suits your needs before arriving in the UK. Index House caters for all, with help never far away. Plus with our international buffet, you don't need to worry about what you'll be eating during the week.

Applicants with Disabilities

If you need any assistance or have specific requirements you will need to contact us before-hand so we can help make any necessary arrangements. The entire building is wheelchair friendly, with a lift stopping at each floor and ramps for exterior access.

Short Term Students

Our rooms can be rented for a fixed term, or for the whole year of study. Your arrival and tenancy term can be arranged with us, but we ask for this to be done a minimum of a year before you are due to arrive.

Postgraduates

Unlike some university accommodations, we won't evict you at the end of your degree. As a private establishment, we can guarantee rooms to any that apply (subject to availability). Everything remains the same in terms of the Index House package, with unlimited access to all of our facilities. Long term stays can be arranged before or during your initial stay, and will work on a monthly rolling package after passing your agreed fixed term contract.

As of 2022, the average price for a central Leeds flat is around £1013.00 PCM. That doesn't include council tax, bills and all of the other expenses.
