We use an independent market research company, Acuity, to carry out three monthly transactional surveys on our behalf.  The surveys ask tenants for their views on:

  • their recent repair
  • their move to one of our homes
  • their experiences of reporting an anti-social behaviour complaint

To find out more about how this research is conducted, visit our about our tenant satisfaction surveys webpage.

Please find our results below. If you have any questions, please contact our tenant engagement team

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) survey

Our anti-social behaviour survey helps us to understand how happy our tenants are with the way we handle their anti-social behaviour (ASB) complaints. 

The survey contains 10 questions, including two questions where a tenant can give views on how we could make improvements. Around 10 tenants are randomly selected each month by Acuity to complete the survey. The tenants selected will have had a anti-social behaviour complaint closed the month before.

Please note: there were no transactional surveys completed in February 2024, as no cases were closed that month.

Our staff use the results and feedback to look at areas where we can improve our service for tenants. Some of the things we are currently doing are: 

You said We will
It isn't always easy to report a repair with us. Look at all the ways in which tenants can report a repair, what works well and not so well, and how we can make improvements.
My repair isn't completed right first time and the quality of work can be improved. Carry out post inspections on some of our repairs to look at quality of work we carry out and we are completing the repair right first time.
I'm not always kept informed of when my repair will be completed. We are investigating other tools that we can use to keep tenants up-to-date on their repair such as text messaging and phone calls.
