We believe our customers should be able to see clearly how we are performing, where we are doing well, and where we still need to improve. This page brings together key information about our services, tenant satisfaction, complaints, and repairs, so you can understand how we are doing and how we are holding ourselves to account.
We use a mix of customer feedback, operational data, and independent regulation to measure our performance. Our Board reviews this information regularly and uses it to set priorities and drive improvement across our services.
Our performance is measured against the things that matter most to customers: safe and well‑maintained homes, reliable repairs services, fair rents, respectful communication, and the way we handle complaints. We also track how well we listen, learn, and act on feedback.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) play a key role in this. These are set by the Regulator of Social Housing and allow customers to compare landlords on a consistent basis. Our latest TSM results are published here and are reviewed by our Board alongside other performance data.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are a set of standards that help assess how well landlords are doing. Since April 2023, it has been a legal requirement for landlords to report their TSMs to the Regulator of Social Housing.
We are measured against these standards to ensure we are open and transparent about our performance.
TSMs include 22 key measures, split into two groups:
This page shows the results from our 2025/26 survey, along with how our team is working to improve the areas you highlighted.
By sharing your honest feedback anonymously, you help us focus on what matters most to you - like keeping homes in good condition, treating you with respect, and taking care of your community, your input is essential in helping us improve our services for everyone.
This year's results can be seen below.

How do we collect feedback from tenants?
We work with an independent company called TLF to make sure all feedback is collected fairly. TLF do not target specific groups or leave anyone out, with tenants chosen at random via a computer-generated selection process.
To keep things transparent, our approach to Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) has been checked by an independent audit, which gave it a ‘substantial assurance’ rating.

How many Freebridge customers did we speak to?
A total of 1249 surveys were completed, split across two rounds, split between 908 telephone interviews and 341 online
We made sure to hear from a diverse range of tenants so that the feedback truly reflects the experiences of all our customers.

Will will update this section with our late 2026 and early 2027 survey information when that process is complete.
What are we comparing our results to?
This is our fifth round of tracking Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs). 2023/24 was the first time we officially reported TSM data, while in 2022/23, 2024/25 we ran an initial survey in using the 12 customer perception questions to see how we measured up.
By comparing this year’s (2025/26) results to previous years, we can see where we’re improving and identify the areas that need more focus.
TLF, who collect our TSM data, also work with a range of other social housing providers and provide us with benchmarking information. This helps us see how we measure up against other housing associations.
We also have access to Housemark benchmarking services. This is a data comparison service used by UK social housing providers to measure their performance, costs, and tenant satisfaction against industry peers.
It allows housing associations and local councils to evaluate their value for money, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve services using market data.
How are we performing?
Overall satisfaction increased by 3.8 percentage points, from 66.0% in 2024/25, to 69.8% in 2025/2026
Where do we need to make improvements?
We’re working to improve across all the areas measured by TSMs, but we are particularly focusing on the areas below:
Complaint Handling: Although it is improving, the complaint-handling score is below average compared to other providers.
Communal Area maintenance and ASB Response: Two measures that are down on the previous year. There is dissatisfaction with how anti-social behaviour (ASB) cases are handled. Communal area maintenance also needs improvement.

How do Freebridge compare to other landlords?
Every landlord should be publishing their results on their website.
Benchmarking information will be available in October 2026
If you are thinking of moving to another landlord, including through a mutual exchange, you should be able to request information about how they carried out their surveys, their results and their plans to improve.
This will be the first year that all landlords have provided their results, and everyone is collecting their surveys differently.
As per The Government, regulatory judgements are a published view of how well a landlord is delivering the outcomes of regulatory standards. Each landlord’s page contains their current judgement.
The Government set regulatory standards that define the outcomes that landlords must deliver using their powers under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008.
They expect all landlords to deliver the outcomes of the standards that apply to them. These include both the required outcomes and specific expectations they set within each standard.
Performance is not static. We are committed to continuous improvement and to being open about our progress. Where results fall short, we set clear actions, timescales, and accountability to put things right.
By sharing this information openly, we aim to build trust, support informed conversations with customers, and demonstrate how we are delivering safe, good‑quality homes and services.
As part of the Housing Ombudsman's complaint handling code, all housing associations and councils are expected to complete regular assessments of their current complaints policy and procedure. We are committed to improving our complaint handling processes and ensuring that your voices are heard.
You can read our reports on the findings of our assessments and our Housing Ombudsman Self-Assessment forms on our feedback page.
Our Customer Voice groups play an active role in helping to shape our services. These groups monitor our performance against the commitments outlined in our Customer Charter and key performance indicators set by the Housing Ombudsman.
Through scrutiny groups, surveys, consultations and engagement activities, our customers help us test whether our services are working in practice, not just on paper.
Feedback from customers also directly influences our priorities and improvement plans. We publish the outcomes of customer scrutiny and explain how it has influenced decisions and service changes.
We are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, which sets standards for safety, quality, transparency and value for money. We publish information in line with these requirements and are open about how we’re performing - including where we know we need to improve.
