Frequently Asked Questions

Students in York typically start searching for their next student house in late October, with demand at its highest in early November.

The average rent for York student properties on the UniHomes website this 2026-27 letting season sits at approximately £225 per person per week. Whilst this is a bit more expensive than the rest of the country (the national average is £176 pppw), remember that this includes bills – meaning that you don’t have to worry about sorting your utilities!

Hull Road has taken the lead in the 2026-27 letting season, with this area being the most popular place for York student accommodation on the UniHomes website. It’s a close tie for second and third place, however, as Heslington just beats out the city centre for runner up.

2-bedroom student accommodation has proven to be the most popular amongst UniHomes’ York users for the 2026-27 letting season so far. 3-beds and 4-beds follow close behind, too, so you’re best off looking sooner rather than later to beat the competition if you’re after one of these properties.
