We're committed to providing quality homes and services that put our residents at the heart of everything we do.
Our Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) results help us understand what we’re doing well and where we need to improve.
What are TSMs?
The TSMs were introduced by the Regulator for Social Housing in 2024, following an Act of Parliament in 2023. These help us to understand how well we’re serving you and where we need to improve. They include:
-
12 resident satisfaction measures
-
10 performance measures
The 10 performance measures were taken from residents who are renting, and those living in low-cost home ownership accommodation. These are mainly our "shared owner" residents.
We've set out our combined results below.

About the survey
8,446 residents across the Peabody Group, including Town & Country Housing, were interviewed for the survey to find out how satisfied you are with our services. Thank you to everyone that took part in these.
We use an independent research company, called The Leadership Factor (TLF) to gather feedback from our residents. This helps us understand how residents feel we are performing so we know what to focus on and continue to improve.
We followed the Regulator’s guidelines to make sure our surveys represent the diversity of residents we serve.
We’ll benchmark our results with other housing associations and tell you how we compare in Autumn 2024, when the Regulator of Social Housing publishes this.
We’ve already started our 2024-25 TSM survey. If you receive a call, we’d love your feedback. It only takes a few minutes.
