Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs)
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) have been introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing in England to assess how well landlords are doing in providing good quality homes and services.
There are 22 measures. 12 of these measures come directly from one of our customer feedback surveys, 10 come from information we hold in our systems on our operational activity.
These measures have been designed to drive up standards and improve the quality of social housing by ensuring housing providers are accountable for the services delivered to customers.
We have been monitoring our performance on similar measures for a number of years, which helps us to understand what matters most to our customers and influences what goes into our improvement plans. With TSMs now in their third year as a regulatory requirement for all social landlords, we are able to compare our year-on-year performance as well as how we compare to others. We also produce additional performance reporting for our customers, you can find these results here.
Riverside runs an ongoing perception survey every month to understand how customers feel about the services we provide. Within this survey we capture your responses on the Tenant Satisfaction Measures alongside some additional measures that we think are also important.
Before the TSMs framework was introduced, we were already conducting regular customer feedback surveys to hear how we’re performing from our customers’ perspective.
The first year of formal TSMs data collection started 1st April 2023, and our last published full year results report on April 2024 – March 2025 and can be found at the bottom of this page in the ‘Previous performance’ section.
This ongoing survey is carried out by our research partner, IFF Research. They are very experienced in running these surveys on behalf of landlords. They contact customers by phone or by email to ask the questions below. Customers will be chosen at random to take part in the survey.
Not all Riverside customers are included within the TSMs – Leaseholders are not part of the TSMs and as this is the English Regulator, our Scottish customers are also not included here.
This feedback is used to drive our improvement plans, influence decision making and enable our customers to check in on our performance.
Your opinions matter to us. We dedicate time to reviewing your comments to understand how you feel and what we need to do differently. Where customers respond with dissatisfaction we aim to follow up directly so we can put things right.
How we’re performing on TSMs
The results below show our performance for the financial year 2025/26. These results show our combined Group performance for England (including former One Housing Group customers) but excludes Riverside Scotland with separate regulations governing performance reporting in Scotland.
Notes: The large figure in each section shows our overall performance number. Below them are figures for Low Cost Rental Accommodation (LCRA) and Low Cost Home Ownership (LCHO) properties. To be clear on the scope of those properties LCRA includes results for Social Housing, Supported Housing, Retirement Living and Intermediate Rent properties. LCHO includes results for Shared Ownership properties.
The thumbs up or down icons indicate how the trend for this year’s results, compare with the previous year.
