Your Voice Matters

Incommunities wants to work with you to improve the services we deliver.  In order to do this we are working with IFF Research who may contact you so you can share your opinions and views on our services. The survey will also help us meet the Tenant Satisfaction Measure requirements set by the Regulator of Social Housing whose job involves ensuring landlords are giving people good housing. The regulator will begin to publish the results from Autumn 2024.  Find out more information about Tenant Satisfaction Measures on the government’s website.

IFF Research will start to contact customers from the end of January 2023. They will either:

  • call you from 0203 148 7717  or
  • you may receive a text message with a link to an online form

They may ask you to confirm your contact details, and at the end of the survey they may ask if it is okay for us to contact you about your feedback from the survey.

The feedback collected from the surveys will be used to improve our services and processes. Your answers will be confidential and will be used only by Incommunities to improve the services we deliver.  The overall results will be published in our @home magazine and on our website on an annual basis from April 2023. As a thank you for taking part you will be entered into a monthly prize draw to win a £50 voucher.

It is optional to take part in the survey. If you do not want to take part, you can inform IFF Research who will then remove your details from the contact list.
