Our History

The idea for Leeds Federated first came about in 1974 and we officially established in 1975. Since then, we've been helping people make a home. The first homes we invested in were at the Arthingtons in central Leeds. We worked closely with Leeds City Council and other organisations which were concerned by the lack of quality  homes to rent in the city at that time.

We've always been based in the heart of the communities we serve. Our first office was in a house on Arthington Terrace which had an outside toilet and needed upgrading, as did the other homes we acquired in the area. We rewired, reroofed and replumbed the homes in the Arthingtons and the Ebors.

Leeds Federated has been synonymous with regeneration in the inner city of Leeds. Although the number of homes has increased, along with the geographical spread across Leeds, Wakefield, Kirklees and into North Yorkshire we're still committed to building and providing safe, affordable homes that people want to live in.
