Tenant Satisfaction Measures for 2023/24

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) were introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing in 2023 to assess landlords’ performance in providing good quality homes and services.

Here you can find details of our first set of results covering 2023/24.

How we performed on the TSMs 2023/24

Learn about our approach to collecting feedback for the 2023/24 TSMs here.

Overall satisfaction

Overall satisfaction with our Low Cost Rented Accommodation service is 83.7% and 66.3% for our Low Cost Home Ownership. 

There were some positive messages from residents in the TSMs, particularly around building safety. We also know there are areas to improve, such as in our handling of complaints.  

Improved management information reporting and a new approach to handling complaints is beginning to have a positive impact. We will continue to focus on that and other areas highlighted by the TSMs.    

Together with the feedback we receive in a variety of ways throughout the year, this will help us continue to improve services and provide happy living for our residents.
