As a result of the disruptions caused by the ongoing pandemic there will be changes and disruptions to the service, please keep checking the Latest News section of this website for important updates.

We encourage all applicants to only bid on properties in areas that they are familiar with and therefore, urge you to read thoroughly the property descriptions before placing a bid.

Please note property viewings are appointment only, contact our Support and Information Team (SIT) on 01484 414886

As a result of the national lockdown in March we are now carrying out water tests and treatment in all our empty homes. 
This has caused some delay in being able to sign people up for their new homes, and we are working with specialist contractors to ensure this work is carried out as quickly as possible. 
As soon as your property has been tested, a member of the Empty Homes Team will be in contact to arrange your viewing and sign up appointment.

The Pet Policy came into effect on 22 June 2020 and sets out Kirklees Councils (KC) approach to the keeping of pets in Council accommodation

Permission will be required to keep cats or dogs in Council accommodation. Below is a summary of the pets allowed in properties, full information is available on https://knh.org.uk/your-home/keeping-pets
 

• Permission will be required to keep pets in council accommodation, and this applies if you are already or tenant, or looking to become a tenant in the future
   
• Some of our flats do not allow dogs, so please check out the policy before bidding on a property on Choose N Move.
   
• Before we make an offer of a property, we will check that the number of pets you own complies with the Policy. If not, then we will be unable to proceed with the offer of accommodation
   
• Permission will normally be granted provided there are no restrictions on the property, the pets are looked after, and conditions of your tenancy agreement are being met

A Good Pet Keeping Guide is available for advice and support – please visit https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets

If you are already a tenant you can call, email, or click the contact us button to request a copy of the policy and the permission form. Eventually tenants will be able to access this via their MyKirklees account. We will update you when tenants can do this.
