Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) 2024–25

Tenant Satisfaction Measures are a set of standards introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing to help tenants understand how well their landlord is performing. They cover key areas like repairs, safety, communication, and neighbourhood management.

How was the data collected?

The council gathered the data through a combination of tenant surveys and performance records.

The perception measures are collected by Viewpoint, an independent market research organisation, by completing tenant perception surveys on our behalf. 

During 2024-25 they contacted 250 tenants every three months until they had achieved the required sample size of 1,000 tenants. 

With this sample size we can be 95% confident that the results are accurate to within +/-3%, which is considered statistically robust for this type of survey.

Viewpoint managed to achieve a representative sample based on the gender, age, disability and ethnicity of our wider tenant population, as well as property types and geographical area, and so no weighting was applied to any of the results. 

The results are validated quarterly by our business intelligence team to ensure they’re accurate and a transparent reflection of our performance. 

The survey was mostly carried out by telephone, with a small proportion carried out by email as we did not have a telephone number for some of the tenants selected at random. We chose telephone surveys to make it easier for you to share your views, it’s more personal, and helps ensure everyone has a chance to be heard. See the questions asked here

How is Norwich City Council performing?

Overall satisfaction

Since the first measures in 2023–24, satisfaction has improved across key areas like repairs, safety, and communication.

71.1% of tenants are satisfied with the overall service - a 6.9% increase from last year.

There are two types of measures:

  • Tenant Satisfaction Measures (Perception): These come from surveys where tenants share their views on things like repairs, safety, and overall service.
  • Management Information Measures: These are based on facts and data from our systems, such as how quickly we complete repairs or carry out safety checks.

Together, these measures show both how tenants feel and how we perform, helping us make housing services better for everyone.
