How we are performing as a landlord

Moving THH into the council

We are currently moving content from the THH website onto the Tower Hamlets Council (LBTH) website.

We are keen to involve council tenants and leaseholders in this process to ensure information is easy to find and understand.

Please get in contact if you are interested in helping us design our new website (email scrutiny@towerhamlets.gov.uk – to take place in early September).


Measuring our performance

Our performance progress is regularly reviewed across all areas of the business. We use this information to measure our successes and identify areas for improvement.

We collect information, including satisfaction data, from tenants and leaseholders and publish the findings in our annual report.

Data collection for our 2023/24 annual report finished in March 2024. We are currently working on finalising our annual report for 2023/24 and will publish it on this page.

Tenant satisfaction measures

The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has finalised new tenant satisfaction measures (TSMs) for all social landlords, including THH/LBTH. There are 22 tenant satisfaction measures, including 12 tenant perception measures and 10 management information measures.

The regulator only expects this data to be collected from tenants, however we will continue to survey our leaseholders to ensure we have representative views across all residents.

Methodology

For the satisfaction questions we commissioned Kwest Research Ltd to conduct a telephone survey on our behalf. The survey was carried out from July 2023 to March 2024.

For us to meet our requirements, we need to conduct a certain number of surveys for the number of properties we manage. As we have around 11,400 tenants, we completed 995 surveys to achieve a representative sample.
