Since the reporting period, further retrospective investigation has shown improved results for some areas where managing agents are responsible for safety checks. The revised figures are the top numbers quoted in each instance.

TSMs and our survey methodology

In April 2023, the Regulator of Social Housing introduced Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs). These enable tenants to scrutinise their landlord’s performance, give landlords insight about where they can do better, and allow the Regulator to see which landlords may need to make improvements

We need to report our performance against a total of twenty two TSMs:

Perception measures
Twelve TSMs measure customer feedback about our services, collected via surveys.

Learn about our methodology when carrying out surveys (pdf)

During October 2024 we commissioned independent market research company, Acuity, to carry out 1,411 interviews amongst a representative group of our customers to gather feedback about their perception of Sage Homes including performance against the twelve TSMs.

Management information
Ten TSMs measure our performance across operations and service management. These include: legal compliance (such as essential health and safety checks in homes); the number of customer complaints; the number of repairs; and the number of antisocial behaviour cases.
