Tenant Satisfaction Measure (TSM) Market Research

Tenant Satisfaction Measure Market Research

M·E·L Research has extensive experience of helping social housing providers to capture meaningful feedback from tenants about the services they receive and their wider interactions with landlords.

Alongside Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), transactional surveys provide continuous, real-time insight into the tenant experience — helping landlords identify service strengths, respond quickly to emerging issues, and drive ongoing improvement.

Our research supports housing associations and local authorities to better understand the experiences that shape tenant satisfaction, trust and perceptions of service quality.We deliver transactional survey programmes across all stages of the tenant journey, including:

Understanding the experience of moving into a new home, including:

  • the quality and clarity of information provided
  • property condition at handover
  • responsiveness to repairs and snagging issues
  • early satisfaction with landlord services

Repairs services are often one of the strongest drivers of overall tenant satisfaction. Our surveys help landlords understand the full repairs journey, including:

  • ease of reporting repairs
  • appointment scheduling
  • communication and updates
  • contractor performance
  • quality and timeliness of completed works

Capturing tenant experiences of essential services such as:

  • gas safety inspections
  • communal cleaning
  • grounds maintenance
  • cyclical maintenance programmes

Exploring how sensitively and effectively landlords respond to highly personal and often complex issues such as anti-social behaviour reporting and case management.

Inclusive Multi-Mode Data Collection: We use a flexible, multi-channel approach to maximise engagement and inclusivity, combining:

  • telephone interviewing
  • SMS surveys
  • online surveys

Our in-house team of experienced interviewers engages with tenants every day, helping us achieve strong response rates and capture rich, actionable feedback from a diverse range of residents.

Secure and Efficient Data Integration: We provide secure and efficient data transfer solutions, including API-based integrations where required. All data processing is fully GDPR compliant and supported by our ISO 27001 accredited information security standards.

Real-Time Alerts and Safeguarding Escalation: Our survey programmes can include automated alerts when:

  • safeguarding concerns are identified
  • serious service failures emerge
  • urgent follow-up is required

Real-time escalation enables operational teams to take prompt remedial action and reduce risk.

Advanced Reporting and Insight Dashboards: Our online reporting platform provides users with immediate access to performance insight through intuitive dashboards and interactive reporting tools.Users can:

  • explore trends over time
  • filter results by contractor, service area or neighbourhood
  • compare performance across patches or teams
  • analyse tenant sentiment and emerging themes

Integrated AI-powered text analytics help summarise large volumes of open-ended feedback, enabling faster identification of key issues and opportunities for improvement.

We deliver insight that goes beyond headline satisfaction scores. Our reporting helps:

  • senior leaders monitor organisational performance
  • operational teams identify service improvement priorities
  • frontline managers respond quickly to emerging issues
  • boards and leadership teams evidence tenant-focused decision making
