Our Summer 2024 Tenant Satisfaction Measure Survey is now live!!!

Following completion of the 2023/24 Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) Customer Satisfaction Survey Results, we are delighted to announce that our Summer 2024 Tenant Satisfaction Measures Survey is now live, giving customers the opportunity to share their views about our services and us.  We are already using the results of the 2023/24 survey to build on what you said we did well and develop what you said we could improve.

TLF Research, an independent research company will be contacting some customers either via telephone or online to ask a series of questions which have been developed by the Regulator of Social Housing. We encourage everyone contacted to take part in this survey.

TLF Research have been appointed by us, at South Lakes Housing to undertake these surveys. They will be contacting a large ‘representative’ sample of our customers that have been selected at random, to give us a balanced view of current Tenant Satisfaction Measures.  So, if you are a SLH customer and receive a phone-call, text message or email from TLF Research, we’d really appreciate it if you could please spare around 5-10 minutes of your time to answer a few questions.

The survey is completely confidential and anonymous, so please feel free to give honest feedback. You may have been contacted already, or be contacted in the near future or not at all, as TLF will randomly select the customers to contact.

We will get to see the mid-year results later in the summer and will be contacting customers (who have not completed the survey anonymously) where we see a negative comment. This will help us to get a better understanding and discuss a resolution.

Later in the year, we will ask TLF Research to undertake the surveys again, and only contact the customers who haven’t been contacted currently. You will not be asked to complete this survey twice.
