Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs)

The Regulator of Social Housing introduced a new requirement for all social housing landlords, to annually report on a set of measures that tell you how well we’re doing at providing quality homes and services. These requirements are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs).

These measures have been designed to drive up standards and improve the quality of social housing by ensuring housing providers are accountable for the services delivered to customers.

There are 22 measures, 12 of these measures come directly from one of our customer feedback surveys, these can be found in the Tenant Perception Measures section below. 10 measures come from information we hold in our systems on our operational activity and relate to complaints, anti-social behaviour (ASB), decent homes standard (DHS) and repairs, and building safety.

Find out more about our customer feedback survey which is how we measure our performance against these tenant perception measures. You can also read the methodology statement from our Research partner, IFF.

You can find out more about the Tenant Satisfaction Measures in the Technical Requirements guidance document from the Regulator of Social Housing

IFF Research have ask for opinions on the services that we provide. You can download all the questions that were asked during the survey.
