Tenant Satisfaction Measures

Our TSMs for 2023-24

The Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are a set of 22 measures set out by our regulator.

They help our customers and partners see how well our services are performing with:

  • Keeping properties in good repair
  • Maintaining building safety
  • Respectful and helpful engagement
  • Effective handling of complaints
  • Responsible neighbourhood management

They're also part of our Consumer Regulations. If you're one of our customers, you can use this information to hold us to account - find out how to do this here. All landlords with more than 1,000 homes, like us, will publish their TSM results.

The TSMs include:

  • 12 questions that we ask our customers about how they feel about our services.
  • 10 checks based on information we monitor.

Thank you to all those customers who took part in our survey last year (2023-24) to help us build the results below.

Next steps

The TSMs offer a key opportunity for us to learn and improve.

All landlords Comparing how we’re doing against other landlords

We will be reviewing our scores with our Customer Community network to get their perspective and ideas for how we can get better.

We’re proud to report high levels of customer satisfaction. This is a testament to how hard our team work to build positive relationships in our community.

That said, ‘Excellent Customer Experiences’ is one of our core strategic themes, so we’ll always look to do more.

We have a Customer Experience Working Group including colleagues from all areas of the business.

They review customer feedback from all sources and look for ways we can improve.

The next topic they plan to focus on is our core service standards in order to help customers hold us to account.

We pride ourselves on going over and above in our building safety checks. So, our target is to achieve 100% compliance in all areas.

We didn’t achieve 100% compliance for our asbestos, legionella and passenger lift checks. This was because B3Living has some flats in buildings owned by other landlords who are responsible for these checks.

We weren’t able to get copies of evidence from all these third-party building owners, but we are continuing to pursue this information to achieve 100% compliance in future.

For more than a decade, we have had 100% of our homes compliant with the Decent Homes Standard. Towards the end of year, our latest round of stock condition surveys found that 23 homes fell below the standard we would expect (20 for repairs and 3 for thermal comfort). We need to verify the surveys but, once we do this, we'll get any works arranged asap to bring us back up to 100% Decent Homes.

We have set up a dedicated complaints handling team to make sure we handle complaints in target timescales.

More information about our plans for our complaints service is available in our Annual Complaints Performance and Service Improvement Report.
