If you’ve ever tried hunting for a house share in Leeds you’ll know the drill: dozens of tabs open, prices that keep shifting, and viewings that vanish before you can click “book”. Parklane Properties does things differently. Because we own and manage every property we advertise. Bills bundled, deposits fair, and locations chosen for the things you do every day – that’s the Parklane Properties guarantee. From Hyde Park’s leafy terraces to Burley’s riverside avenues, and city centre chic studios our portfolio covers the whole city.
What are the benefits of choosing a houseshare over a one-bed flat?
A houseshare is a rental arrangement where you rent a private, furnished bedroom inside a larger home while sharing the kitchen, living room, bathrooms and utility bills with other tenants. It’s an easy, budget-friendly way to live in a good location, meet new people and keep monthly costs simple with one all-inclusive payment.
In short, a houseshare keeps monthly costs low, removes most of the admin, and adds space and sociability - ideal for students and young professionals who value convenience and community. Here we explore the benefits in a little more detail:
Lower monthly cost:
Splitting rent, utilities and council tax with housemates means your share is usually far cheaper than covering everything alone in a one-bed.
Bills bundled and predictable:
Most house shares roll gas, electric, water, broadband—and often council tax—into one fixed payment, making budgeting simple.
More space for the money:
You get a private double bedroom plus use of a full kitchen, lounge, dining area and sometimes a garden - far more square footage than a typical one-bed flat.
Prime locations:
Sharing reduces costs enough that you can afford popular neighbourhoods like Hyde Park or the city core rather than moving further out to find a cheaper flat.
Ready-made community:
Built-in housemates mean instant company for cooking, Netflix or a pint - handy if you’re new to Leeds or just prefer a sociable home life.
Shared responsibility:
Cleaning rotas, parcel collection and security are easier when there’s more than one person looking after the place.
Furnished & move-ready:
Houseshares often come fully kitted out, sofas, white-good kitchen appliances, TV etc. All saving you cost and the hassle of furnishing a flat from scratch.
Property Spotlight - Student and Professional Houseshares in Leeds
Below is a closer look at a couple of featured houseshare properties in Leeds - two which are perfect for students to share and two, tailored for young professionals. Each shows what makes sharing a smart, social and refreshingly stress-free way to rent.
Property Spotlight - Student Houseshare in Leeds
14 Kelso Road, LS2 9PR – five bedrooms, one price, zero hassle
At £134.99 per person per week all bills are already covered, so there’s no Friday-night row about who forgot the meter reading. Fresh from a premium refurbishment, every bedroom is a double and the open-plan living space comes with a big sofa and flat-screen TV you’ll actually use. Ten minutes to Beckett’s Park campus, fifteen to the city centre – study, sleep, repeat minus the commute. Check it out here: Parklane Properties

245 Hyde Park Road, LS6 1AG – nine rooms of classic Hyde Park character
Hyde Park is student ground zero and this four-storey Victorian house sits right opposite the university steps. From £121.99 per person, per week you get nine large doubles, brand-new bathrooms, a kitchen-diner built for group cooking and private parking at the rear – a rarity here. There’s only one room left at the time of writing. Check it out here: Parklane Properties
Why they work
Shared bills, short walks and sociable space are the big three for students. Both homes tick them all. With super-fast broadband pre-installed and maintenance handled by our own team, bed-to-lecture becomes a single-provider journey.

2 Boston Exchange Court, LS4 2AJ – six rooms, six en-suites
Think houseshares still mean queues for the bathroom? Not here. Every bedroom has its own en-suite, and the weekly rent of £164.99 per person, per week, includes council tax, utilities and WiFi. Downstairs is a light, open lounge with wall-mounted plasma TV, while a family-sized garden gives you weekend BBQ space without the city-centre price tag. Burley Park station is five minutes away; Leeds Station is one stop beyond. Check it out here: Parklane Properties

7 The Village Street, LS4 2PR – seven bedrooms, all-in price
Set on a quiet street between Headingley and the city, this house proves you can have space and convenience. Rent is £139.99 per person, per week all-inclusive with a modest £250 deposit. Generous bedrooms, a newly fitted kitchen and fibre broadband throughout make moving in easy. Cycle to the office or hop on the train at Burley Park – both are minutes away. Check it out here: Parklane Properties
Why they work
En-suites, gardens and council-tax-inclusive rents recognise real working life - unpredictable hours and a need for genuine downtime. Both houses are close to major employers yet far enough out for weekend breathing space.
