Tenant Satisfaction Measures
What are the Tenant Satisfactions Measures (TSMs)?
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are a set of standards that all registered providers of social housing must submit to the Regulator of Social Housing each year. This ensures that all residents receive high-quality homes and services by helping the regulator to compare social landlords’ performance in England.
The measures help us to monitor our performance and identify areas for improvement by listening to your feedback. We want to share our results with you because being transparent and trustworthy matters to us and we want your help to continuously improve our customer experience.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures 2024-25
There are 22 Tenant Satisfaction Measures covering these five key areas: overall satisfaction, repairs, building safety, complaints and antisocial behaviour.
12 are evaluated by listening to feedback from our customers and 10 are evaluated through data collection by the team at Local Space.
These results cover the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Repairs
We know that repairs are important to you. Maintaining high-quality, safe, and comfortable homes is a key part of our service as your landlord.
Following on from your feedback, we have:
- Worked closely with our contractors to improve repair completion times and call centre responsiveness.
- Engaged consultants to conduct an independent review to help us design a better repairs and maintenance service

Building safety
Your health and safety are our top priorities. Following your feedback, we now fast-track health and safety and security-related complaints for a speedy resolution.
We buy homes on the open market, refurbish and convert them into more affordable housing. This means that sometimes our homes are in larger buildings, managed by other owners, called ‘superior landlords’. Superior landlords are legally responsible for safety checks and certifications in these buildings, including communal areas.
We continue to actively pursue superior landlords for their safety certifications and risk assessments to ensure overall building safety. Additionally, we regularly check in with our residents to ensure they feel safe in their homes and address any concerns promptly.
