Tenant Satisfaction Measures

As part of new national standards introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing, we are now required to report on how well we’re performing as a social housing provider. These standards, known as Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), are designed to give tenants a stronger voice and help hold landlords to account.

In total there are 22 TSMs divided into two parts:

  • TSMs collected from a tenant perception survey
  • TSMs generated from management information.

Together they provide a balanced picture; the lived experience of tenants and our operational performance as a social landlord. This helps ensure transparency, accountability and supports improvements where they're needed most.

We submit our TSM data to the Regulator of Social Housing every year as part of its statutory reporting requirements.


Tenant perception survey results

This part is based on feedback directly from tenants. There are 12 Tenant Satisfaction Measures which cover experiences and perceptions of services such as repairs, communication, safety and how we're handling complaints. These results come from a standardised survey, so every social landlord is measured in the same way.

We have already completed three tenant perception surveys. For transparency, we have published each year's results below. The results are also published in our tenant newsletters.

Management information results

This part uses data collected by us from our housing and property management systems to show how well key services are being delivered. There are 10 Tenant Satisfaction Measures which include repair completion times, building safety checks, anti-social behaviour and complaint handling. These measures are based on facts and figures, rather than opinions and perceptions.

The operational performance information for 2025/26 will begin to be collated from April 2026. Once the data has been reviewed and approved internally, and then signed off by the Regulator of Social Housing, the results will be published.

Why do we collect and publish TSMs?

From 1 April 2023, all social housing providers must collect and report data on key service areas such as:

  • tenant perception
  • repairs and maintenance
  • building safety checks
  • handling of complaints

We gather this information through our usual performance monitoring processes, as well as through new tenant perception surveys that ask residents directly about their experiences.

The introduction of TSMs follows the Government’s 2020 Social Housing White Paper, The Charter for Social Housing Residents, which sets out a vision for safer, fairer and more transparent housing services. The Regulator of Social Housing is responsible for overseeing compliance with these new standards.


Summaries of approach

Summaries of approach tell you how we conducted each tenant survey.

The summaries cover key aspects such as how the surveys were designed, the methods of distribution and collection, and when the surveys were opened and for how long.

They show how we analyse and report on the results and what actions we should take to improve future surveys and the housing service as a whole.
