Access our Tenant Satisfaction Measures and other performance information
Access our Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) results and other performance information
We're committed to operating in an open, honest, and transparent way. One of the ways we do this is by regularly sharing our various performance and tenant/resident perception results with you. Tap here to access our full Transparency policy.
We keep track of our progress and ways we can improve:
- by collecting and sharing data from annual tenant perception surveys, and sharing relevant performance figures from our management systems in line with the Regulator of Social Housing's Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs),
- by sharing figures that quantify the outcomes achieved by our various teams - for example, the number of customer phone calls answered, repairs appointments attended, new homes built, and more,
- by producing and sharing Expenditure Reports (tap here to view our latest Expenditure Reports) for all spending over £500 relating to our Shared Ownership and affordable housing developments,
- through our various reports and strategies (tap here to view our reports and strategies), including our annual report, which provides a summary of our performance each year.
Sharing our 2023/24 Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) results
Sharing our 2023/24 Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) results
All social housing providers in England are required to collect data on a set of 'Tenant Satisfaction Measures' developed by the Regulator of Social Housing. Using these measures, we and the Regulator can assess how well we're doing at providing good quality homes and services.
Aside from being a regulatory requirement, collecting and reporting this data is important for us as it gives us a view of what we’re doing right or wrong, how we can improve and provide you with greater value for money, and so we can compare ourselves to other housing providers and identify best practice.
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures include 22 measures across five themes. Of these, 12 are reported through the annual tenant perception survey, and 10 are reported from our management systems.
The first 12 TSMs results below are from our tenant perception survey
The first 12 TSMs results below are from our 2023 tenant perception survey (September to October 2023)
Here are our results for 2023's tenant perception survey, which was carried out with customers in late September through to October 2023. Alongside our own results, we’ve also included some initial comparisons with other housing providers** (lowest, highest, and average figures) and we’ll look to update this when we can compare with a wider group of providers.
**52 Registered Providers (housing providers) supplied their tenant perception scores captured during the first six months of the data collection window. The average stock size (number of homes) of these providers is 19,000, and the average sample size is 850, with results based on a total of 44,246 surveys.
See our Summary of Approach for our 2023 tenant perception survey
As a housing provider, we need to publish a summary of the survey methodology alongside the perception measures below. This summary needs to include the sample size, timing, collection methods, sampling method, and an assessment of representatives. The summary of approach document provides full details and can be found here:

Why aren't we able to compare our results for this question with other providers?
This was an additional question that we (Bolton at Home) chose to ask our customers. It is not required as part of the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), which is why we aren't able to compare our figures to those of other providers for this question.
