How we are doing: Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) 2024-25

We’ve published our latest Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) for the first time as a combined organisation following the merger of Housing Plus Group and The Wrekin Housing Group.
These measures are part of a national framework introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing to help tenants understand how well their landlord is performing. They cover key areas such as repairs, safety, complaint handling, and overall satisfaction. This page shows the results for customers living in our low-cost rental accommodation.

This year’s results reflect feedback from customers across our new combined organisation, giving us our clearest picture yet of what we’re doing well and where we need to improve.

We remain committed to listening, learning and improving. Your feedback continues to shape our services and drive real changes that matter to you.

How feedback is collected

Tenant Satisfaction Measures are designed to give tenants a voice in assessing landlord performance and highlighting areas for improvement. Since April 2024, we’ve been gathering feedback through perception surveys, focusing on key areas such as:

  • Overall satisfaction
  • Keeping properties in good repair
  • Maintaining building safety
  • Carrying out safety checks
  • Respectful and helpful engagement
  • Effective handling of complaints and antisocial behaviour (ASB)
  • Responsible neighbourhood management

We worked with independent research companies CX Feedback, Pexel Research Services and Acuity to carry out the surveys by phone and email. A total of 2,748 customers completed this survey in 2024-25.

We also used alternative methods to collect views from a small number of customers in our learning disability schemes.

To ensure fair representation, we applied a method called weighting, adjusting results by age group, where satisfaction levels varied the most. You can view the full survey questions and read more about our approach on our survey approach page.

This feedback is vital in helping us measure how we’re doing and where we can improve. We’re committed to sharing results regularly and using them to enhance the services we provide.

This is the first Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) report for the new Housing Plus Group, formed in January 2025 following the merger of Wrekin Housing Group and the former Housing Plus Group. Together. We now provide homes and services to over 33,000 households across our communities.

As a newly merged organisation, we are in a period of change and integration. We are working hard to bring together the best of both organisations to create a stronger, more efficient housing association – one that puts customers at the heart of everything we do.

To reflect our commitment to openness and transparency, we’ve chosen to present joint results across the new organisation. This means you can see how we’re performing as a whole, and how we plan to keep improving as we move forward together.

Kevin Morgan, Chair – Service, Performance and Customer Experience Committee

Kevin Morgan“I’m pleased to share with you our first Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) report since the merger of Housing Plus Group and The Wrekin Housing Group. This marks an important step for us as a new organisation, bringing together our combined experience, strengths and ambitions to deliver even better services for our customers. 

This report is based on your feedback – and I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to share their views. Listening to our customers is vital to understanding what we’re doing well and, just as importantly, where we need to do better. Your voice helps shape the services we provide and is central to our commitment to create places people are proud to call home, 

We’re proud to see strong performance in several key areas. Many of you told us that you feel safe in your homes, that your neighbourhoods are good places to live, and that you are treated with fairness and respect.  

However, we know there are areas where improvement is needed. Some of the feedback highlighted concerns around how we deal with anti-social behaviour (ASB), and levels of satisfaction with repairs carried out over the past 12 months were not where we want them to be. We take this feedback seriously and are already putting in place measures to address these issues. We’re bringing our local teams and repairs services closer to the communities they serve, so we can respond more quickly and understand your needs better. These changes will help us give you a better service and make it easier for our teams to work together to support you. We are also investing heavily in our repairs service to reduce response times and ensure we get more of these issues right first time. 

This report is more than just a snapshot of current performance – it’s a tool to help us learn, adapt and grow. As a newly merged organisation, we are committed to building a strong and responsive service for all our tenants. We know there’s more to do, and we’re focused on making the changes needed to deliver a better experience for everyone who lives in our homes.” 

Overall Satisfaction

Thank you for sharing your views. We’re pleased so many of you feel safe in your homes and proud of your neighbourhoods. Many of you are also happy with how we maintain and repair your homes. 

We know there’s more to do, especially around complaints handling, communication, and making it easier to deal with us. We’re working hard to improve in these areas and will keep listening to what matters most to you.

    • Where repairs are more complex, we aim for 10 day urgent repairs. This may be where numerous parts are required, or where repairs are to a system or plant that is not easily available such as older or lesser manufactured boiler and parts. This can also include repairs with less urgency, like a radiator valve.

Looking ahead

One of the central aims of our merger was to deliver great services to our customers and communities. We know there’s more to do – and we’re committed to making improvements where they matter most.
We’ve heard that some of our Low-Cost Home Ownership customers are less satisfied, and we’re already taking steps to address this.

We’ve also made changes to how we handle complaints and carry out repairs, with further plans to improve how we respond to anti-social behaviour and deliver major works.

As a new, combined organisation, learning from complaints is a priority. We are listening carefully to feedback and acting on it, so we can provide more consistent, higher quality services.

We’ll also be reviewing a range of services that customers have told us are most important to them. This includes exploring how we can better support people with work experience placements, training opportunities, and activities that strengthen our communities.

Our focus is on building a stronger Housing Plus Group – one that delivers on its promises to create places people are proud to call home.
