Tenant satisfaction measures and performance 2024/25
In 2023, the Regulator of Social Housing introduced new mandatory tenant satisfaction measures for all social landlords with more than 1,000 homes. These measures help you see how well we’re doing in key areas like keeping your home in good repair, handling complaints, and managing your neighbourhood responsibly.
There are two types of tenant satisfaction measures:
- Perception: We ask tenants like you to share feedback through surveys. We then share
these results with the Regulator and with you every year. - Performance: These are based on actual data, such as how quickly repairs are
completed or the number of complaints we receive.
