Tenant Satisfaction Measures 2023/24

Tenant Satisfaction Measures, or TSM for short, have been developed by the Regulator of Social Housing to assess how well social housing landlords are doing at providing good quality homes and services to tenants.

Every year we will collect feedback from customers about how we’re doing and publish those results.

The TSMs give us an honest picture of the service we provide to you and, as a result, can then improve what we do and how we do it.

TSMs are designed to see how well landlords are performing in terms of:

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

How do we get the TSM scores?

There are 22 TSM measures and 10 come from information we hold in our systems on our day-to-day work.

The other 12 come directly from an annual survey. To make sure we heard from as many of you as possible, we ran the survey in two different ways:

• Telephone
• Email

Our approach to TSMs

How did we collect feedback from tenants?

Between September and November 2023, 963 customers responded to our survey, of which 906 were customers living in low-cost rental accommodation (LCRA) and 57 living in shared ownership accommodation (SO).

• 547 by telephone
• 416 by email

We used an independent organisation called The Leadership Factor (TLF) to ensure all feedback was collected fairly and impartially.

You can find out more about how we did the survey in our summary of approach document here

Where are we looking to improve?

We’re working to improve across all the areas measured by TSMs, but we are particularly focusing on:

• Satisfaction with Repairs Service
• Keeping communal areas clean and well maintained
• Making a positive contribution to the neighbourhood

How can I find out how Greatwell Homes compared to other landlords?

Every landlord should be publishing their results on their website. 

If you are thinking of moving to another landlord, including through a mutual exchange, you should be able to request information about how they carried out their surveys, their results and their plans to improve.
