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  
  • 14 performance measures

The 14 performance measures include responses from residents living in rented homes (also called low-cost rental accommodation or LCRA) and shared ownership (also called low-cost homeownership homes or LCHO).

How the survey works

8,658 residents were surveyed across the Peabody Group, including Town & Country Housing, to find out how satisfied residents are with our services. This includes 7,361 residents in rented homes and 1,297 in shared ownership homes. Thank you to everyone who took part.

We work with an independent research company, The Leadership Factor (TLF), to gather feedback from residents. This helps us understand how residents feel we are performing so we know where we’re doing well and where we can improve.

We followed the Regulator’s guidelines to make sure our surveys represent the diversity of residents we serve.

The Regulator of Social Housing publishes results for all housing associations, so it’s easy to compare performance.

View our results in full

We’ve already started our survey for next year. If you get a call, we’d love your feedback - it only takes a few minutes.

Are you a resident? We may be in touch

We are focused on improving our services and supporting our residents. To help us do this, we regularly ask residents for feedback about their experiences of Peabody and the services we provide.

We survey a representative sample of residents to make sure the results are reliable and reflect the views of our communities. The residents we contact change throughout the year, and we speak to around 2,000 residents every month.

Here’s what to expect

You may be contacted by phone, email or text to ask you about:

  • A recent interaction you had with us or our contractors – we survey people who have had a repair done, contacted the customer services hub, moved into a new home, or made a complaint. This helps us understand how well we dealt with your issue and put things right if they went wrong
  • Your overall satisfaction with us, your home, and your neighbourhood. Residents are selected at random to take part in this ongoing survey. Your views help us understand how we are doing, and to fix things that not going so well
  • A survey on a particular topic. We run ad-hoc surveys to improve our ways of working. We recently ran a survey recently for those who had used our digital portal to help us understand how to improve it. We also run surveys to collect data for our reports, which highlight the needs and views of our residents for a wider audience. This helps us to influence policy on things that matter to our residents

How will I know the call is genuine?

We sometimes work with market research agencies to undertake surveys for us – at the moment we work with TLF for most of them. The interviewer who calls you should know the name of the person they want to speak to and should tell you that the research is on behalf of Peabody. They will never ask you for any bank details or personal data such as your date of birth or any passwords.

Is taking part anonymous?

Yes. Your answers are confidential and are combined with responses from other residents to help us understand how we're performing. We use the results to identify what's working well and where we need to improve.

How is my data kept safe?

We take your privacy seriously. Surveys are carried out in line with data protection laws, and any personal information is handled securely. We only use your details to contact you about the survey and to understand feedback from different groups of residents. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

Do I have to take part?

No. Taking part is completely voluntary. If you're invited to take part, you can choose whether or not to complete the survey. However, every response helps us better understand residents' experiences and improve our services.
