What are TSM’s?
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are performance measures that all providers of social housing must report upon in a bid to drive up standards for customers and give them a better understanding of how we are performing as a landlord. The measures will give you, our customers, improved visibility and the ability to hold us to account when things don’t go right. Each landlord is required to publish their results annually, starting in Summer 2024, to give customers the opportunity to compare their landlord with others in the same sector.
There are 26 measures in total and they are split into 2 parts. 14 Management Information measures and 12 Tenant Perception measures, the latter being collected through surveying our customers directly. You can find more details of the TSM’s and why they have been introduced on the gov.uk website here.
The TSMs cover the following key areas:

Summary of Approach
To support with the publication of our TSM results, we outlined a summary of the approach we have taken to arrive at the results. In accordance with the Regulator for Social Housing guidance, our customer population meant we could not practically contact all, therefore, we adopted a random, stratified sampling approach with quotas based on tenure type, location and age of customers. These groups were selected to ensure we had a fair cross section of our customers views.
This means that the percentage of satisfied customers we report is based only on the responses from a sample group, around 8% of our total customer base, not the entire customer population.
You can find out everything about our Summary of Approach on the page below.
Why is this happening?
In 2020, the government published the charter for social housing residents: social housing white paper, which sets out ways to improve things for people living in social housing.
One of those improvement measures is bringing in a set of tenant satisfaction measures.
These measures will:
- let customers see how well their landlord is doing
- gives the government and the Regulator an idea of which landlords might need to improve things.
When did this start?
This started in April 2023, when all housing providers had to start to collect data around the 26 measures. We’re achieving this by surveying our customers, and every summer, we’ll report this information to the Regulator for Social Housing and publish it on our website.
Our survey partners, Acuity, contact customers to collect feedback and report this data to us on a quarterly basis, along with some additional questions, which give us more insight into your experience of our services. This then gives us a clear picture of areas we need to work on, to improve your experience with us.
Calls from Acuity are genuine and calls will only come from this telephone number: 01273 093939
If you’d like to find out more about Acuity, you can read our page to learn more about Acuity or you can visit their website.
Customer First
One of our core values is “Customer First”. This means we put customers at the heart of our decision making and develop homes and services which are built around your needs. We have an established Customer Scrutiny Panel and many other ways to get involved and make recommendations as to how LHP can improve services. We put customers at the heart of our decision making and ensure we listen, act and learn, a core value to us at LHP
We also regularly seek feedback on the delivery of our services to you through survey, and by April 2027 we aim to have gained top quartile customer satisfaction.
