Tenant Satisfaction Measures

The Tenant Satisfaction Measures are a new set of measures introduced by the regulator to ask customers how they feel about the services their landlord provides.

The measures focus on five key themes: Keeping properties in good repair; Maintaining building safety; Effective handling of complaints; Respectful and helpful engagement; Responsible neighbourhood management.

 

Summary results

The percentages are the percent of customers who said they were fairly satisfied or very satisfied. Full results and questions can be found at the bottom of this page.

We are committed to sharing these results on a regular basis with our customers, colleagues, board, regulator, and our stakeholders. This web page will be updated when new data is available.

How we collect feedback

We are working with a company called TLF, who are experienced in running these types of surveys. They are contacting customers by phone every 3 months, to ask 12 questions around the themes above to understand how well our customers think we are performing.

If you are contacted by TLF they understand that your time is precious. They will arrange to interview you at a time that suits you. Your opinions matter to us. We will dedicate time to reading all your scores and comments to understand how you feel and what we need to do differently – we are currently working on the feedback from the pilot to ensure we put relevant improvements in place.

Please note: TLF will never ask for your bank details or other financial information.

Great Places – TSM Submission 2024/25 – Summary of Approach

1. Summary of achieved sample size

LCRA LCHO
Tenant population 18749 3560
Total responses 1218 534
Respondents as a % of all tenant population 6.5% 15.0%
Confidence level / margin of error 95% / (+/- 2.7%) 95% / (+/- 3.9%)

2. Timing of our survey

Great Places conducted a quarterly survey to capture customer views. The reasoning for this is detailed below:

  • Throughout the year – listening and acting all year round not just as a snapshot for the purpose of reporting a score
  • Throughout different seasons – accounting for the impact of cold and wet weather, storm damage, busier grass cutting / grounds maintenance seasons, fuel poverty / affordable warmth, impact of annual or cyclical notices such as rent and service charge statements
  • Review findings and plan initiatives – allows the organisation to thoroughly review each quarter’s findings and ensure appropriate improvement plans are put into place with realistic windows for reporting frequency, implementing changes and monitoring the impact of initiatives

3. Collection method(s)

Whilst Great Places favoured a telephone collection method in order to make the results more broadly comparable with other providers, we did adapt for cohorts of customers that proved hard to reach. Where we struggled to reach the required sample within our Independence & Wellbeing service, we offered face-to-face interviews.

The LCRA postal surveys conducted were to ensure that customers whose properties are owned by Great Places but services provided by others, were fairly represented and not excluded from our sample base. Below is a breakdown of our collection methodology:

LCRA LCHO
Telephone 1206 534
Face-to-face 4
Postal 8

4. Our Sampling Method

Great Places applied random stratified sampling for this year’s TSMs. Key characteristics used to design the sample were; location / age / ethnicity.

5. Assessment of representativeness of the sample against the relevant tenant population

In partnership with our research partner, The Leadership Factor, Great Places carried out representativeness checks in quarters 2, 3, and 4, to ensure the respondent profile was within a representative range of the customer profile.

Where we identified over/under representation appropriate action was put in place to redress responses. The checks were carried out across geographic region, EDI characteristics where the data allowed.

6. Weighting applied to generate the reported perception measures

Weighting was not necessary, as the sample is representative of the total population.

7. Working with our research partner

Great Places appointed research agency The Leadership Factor to deliver the 2024/25 Tenant Satisfaction Measures.

Having agreed to our Contracted Partner Terms and Conditions, and signing our data sharing agreement, we passed and received data via the secure TLF File Transfer Portal.

Whilst we set the rules for sampling, TLF conducted the exercise each quarter, cross referencing previous survey rounds to avoid duplicate contacts and ensure representativeness.

TLF work with a large number of Housing Associations and have an excellent reputation within the sector. This reputation as a leading research provider recently saw 84 registered providers participate in a TSM benchmarking exercise.

8. The number of tenant households within the relevant population that have not been included in the sample frame due to the exceptional circumstances described in paragraph 63 -65 with a broad rationale for their removal

Due to the proactive nature of our approach such as, tailoring collection methods, no customers were excluded due to exceptional circumstances.

9. Incentives

Great Places did not offer incentives.

10. Methodological issues likely to have a material impact on the tenant perception measures reported.

As referenced in section 3, Great Places utilised face to face colleague led surveys with those Independence and Wellbeing customers who needed additional support.
