Tenant Satisfaction Measures
Every three months, we ask hundreds of Eastlight residents how they feel about their homes and services. The results of these Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), and our plans to respond to them, are published here along with more information about them.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures
These results, for April 2023 - March 2024, measure how residents feel about the homes and services we provide. To find out what we are doing to increase satisfaction, please select the i button. Sector averages are provided by Housemark.

I'm satisfied with Eastlight overall
Last Updated: 26 April 2024
Resident satisfaction with Eastlight has fallen in recent years, and we are currently failing to meet the expectations of too many residents.
We have launched our new corporate strategy, which outlines how we plan to develop our services so that they meet your needs and expectations.

I'm satisfied with Eastlight's approach to handling complaints
Last Updated: 26 April 2024
You have told us that we are often too slow to respond to your complaints and that sometimes, you are not happy with the response when it arrives.
We have created a Customer Experience Team of specialists who will be your point of contact when you make a complaint.
They will work with you and colleagues at Eastlight to fully understand your issues and find the best solution.

I'm satisfied with Eastlight's approach to handling anti-social behaviour

Are you happy with Eastlight? Does our repairs service meet your needs? Do you feel safe at home? Do we listen to you?
Every three months, these questions and more are posed to hundreds of residents on our behalf by an organisation called TLF Research. The results, which are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), show where you are happy with the homes and services we provide - and where we need to make improvements.
All housing associations like Eastlight must report these to the Regulator of Social Housing, which in April 2024 received more powers to ensure landlords meet the needs of their residents.
You know better than anyone what you need to be safe and happy in your home, and these surveys are one opportunity to tell us whether we are meeting your expectations.
We will use your feedback to identify where we need to make improvements and introduce them.
Every three months, an organisation called TLF Research will contact a random sample of Eastlight residents to ask them to complete a survey about our services.
It will include a variety of questions ranging from the type of services you receive to the way we communicate with you.
You may be contacted either by phone - with a phone number beginning in 01484 - or by email to take part, and it shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes to complete.
All residents who are contacted can complete the survey anonymously if they wish, and you do not have to take part if you do not want to
Other TSMs, such as how often we complete repairs on time and whether your homes meet the Decent Homes standard, are collected by us.
We have partnered with TLF Research to collect Tenant Satisfaction Measure (TSM) survey results on our behalf.
TLF Research are members of the Market Research Society and are fully compliant with Data Protection Laws.
Some resident contact information has been shared with TLF Research only for the use of this survey to invite residents to take part.
TLF Research does not share any data with any other organisations.
