Tenant Satisfaction Survey

Each year we conduct a perception survey to measure satisfaction among our tenants across 12 key areas. The questions that are asked are set out by central government and are as follows: 

  1. Overall satisfaction
  2. Satisfaction with repairs
  3. Satisfaction with time taken to complete most recent repair
  4. Satisfaction that the home is well maintained
  5. Satisfaction that the home is safe 
  6. Satisfaction that the landlord listens to tenant views and acts upon them
  7. Satisfaction that the landlord keeps tenants informed about things that matter to them
  8. Agreement that the landlord treats tenants fairly and with respect
  9. Satisfaction with the landlord’s approach to handling complaints
  10. Satisfaction that the landlord keeps communal areas clean and well maintained
  11. Satisfaction that the landlord makes a positive contribution to neighbourhoods
  12. Satisfaction with the landlord’s approach to handling anti-social behaviour

The perception survey was introduced in 2023 and the next survey will be conducted towards the end of this year. You can find the results of our previous surveys below:
