Tenant Satisfaction Measures – Shared Owners

Tenant Satisfaction Measures – Shared Owners

Last updated: 11/07/2024

From April 2023 – a new housing regulation requires all social landlords like Settle to collect data for the Tenant Satisfaction Measures.

The aim of the Tenant Satisfaction Measures is to provide clear, visible and comparable information around landlord performance.

Earlier this year, our research partner, Acuity Research and Practice, who carry out surveys with residents on our behalf, surveyed Settle’s shared owners for the 2023/24 year. A total of 134 responses were received for this survey, just over 20% of shared owner residents.

We are not required to report tenant satisfaction data for shared ownership properties, as we have less than 1,000 of these homes at Settle. We are fully committed to the intentions behind the surveys – to ensure we are listening to residents and learning from what we are hearing to drive improvements. We have therefore carried out these surveys with residents and included the results below.

Summary

Taking everything into account, when it comes to overall satisfaction, 62% of shared owner residents said that they were satisfied with services overall, 20% were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied and 18% of respondents said they were dissatisfied.

We can see that the areas of highest dissatisfaction for shared owners are very similar to tenant satisfaction measures we see for other residents at settle:

  • Satisfaction with communal areas being clean and well maintained.
  • How we handle complaints.
  • How we listen and act.
  • Our approach to handling anti-social behaviour.

We have plans in place to improve our work in each of of these areas. We provide more information on how we are doing this in our news story Tenant Satisfaction Measures  – What Shared Owner residents told us.
