Satisfaction Surveys

Your opinion is very important to us and we use a Tenant Satisfaction Measures to ensure we reach our high standards.
We measure ourselves against Management Agreement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), set by the council and the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) set by the House Regulator. Other targets are set by our Board. The Board set Strategic and Operational KPIs and targets are set at a high level of performance within the sector we operate.
You may be contacted by a company called Acuity, who carries out the surveys on our behalf.


Lessons Learned

We have introduced various initiatives based upon what we have learnt from your feedback, including:

We have … updated our standards for making good following any intrusive surveys for electrical and asbestos works, so we leave your homes as we found them.
