Listening to how satisfied you are
We talk to tenants every month to measure their satisfaction with our services and their homes. We do this in two main ways:
- We speak to tenants who have recently received a service from us to understand how it can be improved
- We also speak to tenants regardless of how recently they have required our services, to understand their perception of us and our services, in line with the regulator's new Tenant Satisfaction Measures
We also monitor key deliverables such as building safety checks, how quickly we answer your calls, and the number of repairs we've completed on time.
Here you can find out more about how our key performance, what people who recently used a service think and how our tenants feel regardless of how recent their last interaction with us was every quarter. The results below are from July - September 2023.
We'll update this information every three months so you can see how we're performing throughout the year.
How we collect this information
Our recent service performance
Every month, we ring hundreds of our tenants who have recently used one of our services, be that repairs, complaints, or support with ASB, to understand how satisfied they are with the service they have used and how we may be able to make it better in the future.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures
Over the last three months an independent research company, IFF Research, have spoken to 617 of our tenants on the phone to understand how they feel about our services.
Alongside IFF Research, we have worked hard to make sure that those spoken to are truly representative of all of our tenants. That means we ensure we speak to more people who rent our general needs properties as they make up the vast majority of our homes. We also make sure to speak to tenants of all ages and ethnicities, again ensuring feedback captured is representative of our tenant base.
