We asked tenants to share their views on the services we provide by carrying out a tenant satisfaction measure (TSM) survey.
Tenant satisfaction measures
The charter for social housing residents was published by the government in 2020, which sets out ways to improve standards for people living in social housing. Following this, the regulator of social housing created a new system for assessing how well social housing landlords are performing.
On 1 April 2024, the new requirements came into effect and landlords were required to start collecting data for tenant satisfaction measures (TSMs).
Tenants can see how well their landlord is performing and hold them to account and the regulator can also see if improvements need to be made.
There are 22 TSMs which performance is measured against, 12 of which are tenant perception measures and 10 management information measures.
Perception measures show tenant satisfaction with services provided, such as repairs, caretaking, anti social behaviour and complaints.
Management information measures are based on our performance data, such as time taken to complete repairs, maintaining safety checks and the number of complaints received based on the number of properties the council manage.
Key areas include:
- repairs
- building safety and quality
- respectful and helpful tenant engagement
- complaint handling
- responsible neighbourhood management.
The full list of TSMs can be found on the government website:
All providers of social housing are required to ask their tenants a set of standard questions at least once a year to measure the level of satisfaction in these areas.
The results are shared with the regulator and published online for residents to see.
Results
The TSM survey was completed by the independent provider, Acuity Research & Practice. The survey was conducted primarily via telephone, with 100% of initial contact made through this method. Alternative options, included SMS invitations, online completion, and postal surveys, were made available upon request to ensure accessibility.
Acuity used a randomised sampling approach based on the customer database provided to them, ensuring a representative sample of the overall tenant population.
A total of 1,031 responses, including 969 fully completed surveys and 62 partially completed surveys. The results are set out below:
