Tenant Satisfaction Measures

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are a way of measuring how well landlords are looking after homes and helping their tenants.

In April 2023, it became law for landlords to report Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) to the Regulator of Social Housing.

FAQs

How many TSMs are there?

There are 22 measures in total. For 12 of these, landlords must ask customers for feedback through surveys. These are 'Tenant Perception Measures'. The other 10 are based on information we already collect through our day-to-day work. These are the 'Management Performance Measures'.

How does North Star collect the data?

We work with an independent company called TLF Research to collect satisfaction information. Every three months, TLF contacts a random selection of customers by telephone to get feedback on how they feel North Star is doing.

By providing feedback, you can help us improve the services we deliver to you. TLF Research is based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire so the number will begin with 01484. If you do not want to take part in the survey, let the caller know.

How do we compare to others?

To see how we’re doing compared to others, we work with an organisation called Housemark. They gathered results from 221 landlords in England who chose to share their data for the year April 2023 to March 2024.

Everyone who took part followed the same rules and definitions set by the Regulator of Social Housing. Housemark checked all the data carefully before analysing it.

Here’s who took part:

  • 118 housing associations

  • 103 local councils

Where they’re based:

  • North – 62

  • Central – 71

  • South – 45

  • London – 43

In the diagram below, for each score we’ve included, you’ll also see three comparison scores:

  • Lower Quartile – the average of the lowest 25%

  • Average – the overall average

  • Upper Quartile – the average of the top 25%

 

What does North Star do with the data?

We use the TSM data to understand what we’re doing well and where we need to improve. For example, last year's results show that many customers are happy with the speed of repairs, but we also know that some people have had a slower experience. This tells us that our service isn’t always consistent.

Over the next year, we’ll focus on making sure everyone gets the same high-quality service. We’ll do this by:

  • Talking to involved tenants to better understand your experience and how we can make it better

  • Learning from the positive feedback and building on what works

  • Bringing in new services to improve how we work

  • ... and more.

Your feedback helps shape the changes we make and we really appreciate everyone who takes part in the surveys.

You can find out more in the full report:

We collect and publish tenant satisfaction data every three months.

We don't have to share this data, but we want to. This helps us be as open and honest about our recent performance as we can be.
