Although we don't need to start the new tenant satisfaction survey just yet, we decided to have a trial run at the end of 2022.
This trial run will help us make sure that our systems and communication are ready for the first official satisfaction survey, which we'll carry out in Autumn 2023.
All households were invited to take part. 65 households completed the survey.
You can see what improvements we're making as a result of your survey responses at the bottom of the page.

What are we doing with these results?
Action plan for rented homes
- What we've done so far
We've set up a project team to look at the results.
- They will meet each month to monitor progress.
- There's a representative from each department on the team.
- They have prioritised the areas we are going to focus on.
- 1. Improve the number of repairs completed within target
Between 1st July and 30th September 2023, we'll be focusing on improving the number of repairs completed within target, including:
- how we manage the contractor’s performance (reactive and planned)
- improving how we monitor and challenge the quality of repairs
- how contractors communicate with residents.
- 2. Improve the planned maintenance process
Between 1st October and 31st December 2023, we'll be focusing on improving the planned maintenance process, including:
- improving the information provided prior to work starting
- inspecting the works more during the process
- providing details to residents about when their components (i.e. bathroom) are due to be replaced.
- 3. Communal areas
Between 1st January 2024 and 31st March 2024, we'll be focusing on communal areas, including:
- what’s included in the schedule of works
- tree work – who’s responsible and what work is carried out
- quality of gardening works.
Action plan for shared ownership homes
- What we've done so far
We've set up a project team to look at the results.
- They will meet each month to monitor progress.
- There's a representative from each department on the team.
- They have prioritised the areas we are going to focus on.
- 1. Clearer information on what shared ownership is
To improve our communications and information about what shared ownership is and how it works, we will:
- review the sales pack and information provided to customers to ensure shared owners have clearer information on the lease and the product they are buying.
- 2. Improve engagement
To improve engagement between us and our shared owner customers we will:
- look at setting up a shared ownership/leasehold customer focus group for consultation and feedback on improving and shaping our services
- look at targeted scheme surgeries for shared owners
- increase settling in visits after customers have moved in
- explore offering shared owners who have self-repairing leases any potential benefit from our rented property planned maintenance programmes for example kitchen replacements, window replacements or heating systems and future servicing.
- 3. Increasing shared owner responses in future TSM surveys
To increase the number of shared owners who complete the September 2023 satisfaction survey, we will:
- review how we communicate about the survey with shared owners
- look at introducing telephone surveys or housing officer support to complete the survey.
