Tenant Satisfaction Measures survey full results 2023 to 2024

As your landlord, we want to know where we’re doing well and where we can do better.

To help us, the Regulator of Social Housing has introduced the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) which will show how all social housing providers in England are performing.

You can view the results from the first year's survey below.

The measures focus on five key themes:

  • keeping properties in good repair
  • maintaining building safety
  • respectful and helpful engagement
  • effective handling of complaints
  • responsible neighbourhood management

There are 22 Tenant Satisfaction Measures, 12 come from survey responses and 10 from data we hold.
