Tenant Satisfaction Measures for Access Homes
Introduction to the Tenant Satisfaction Measures
The Regulator of Social Housing asks all social housing landlords in England to share certain information each year to help you understand where we are doing well and where we can improve. These Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) will help you see how we are performing and will allow you to compare us to other housing providers.
As Access Homes is quite a small housing provider, some of the results, especially the satisfaction results are based on quite small samples. In order to provide a bit of extra detail, we have included the Newlon Housing Trust results alongside. As Newlon and Access share all our services, we think they are a useful reference point if you’re looking to compare the services you receive to other housing providers.
Newlon will be publishing a much more detailed Resident Annual Report in September, which will include Access results and provide more information about some of the challenges we have faced, the changes we have made and how our results compare with other housing associations in your area.
These reports will come out every year, and we encourage you to take a look and share your thoughts with us. Your feedback is important to help us keep improving our services.
Thank you for your support!
What will we be reporting on?
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures cover five key areas of our performance.
Here are some of the things we will be reporting on:
1. Keeping homes in good repair: We will share how many of our homes meet the Decent Homes Standard and how quickly we complete repairs. We’ll also ask you about your satisfaction with our repair services and the condition of your home.
2. Maintaining building safety: We will report on safety checks for gas, fire, asbestos, water, and lifts. You’ll also be able to tell us if you feel your home is safe.
3. Respectful and helpful engagement: We want to know if you feel listened to, informed, and treated with respect. Your feedback will help us improve our communication and services.
4. Effective handling of complaints: We’ll report on the number of complaints we receive and how quickly we respond. We also want to hear your thoughts on how well we handle complaints.
5. Responsible neighbourhood management: We’ll share information on how we manage anti-social behaviour and keep communal areas clean and well maintained. Your satisfaction with our contribution to your neighbourhood is important to us.
There are a total of 22 measures, with 10 measured by us directly and 12 based on your feedback through surveys undertaken by our independent survey provider.
