Performance reports - for tenants, by tenants

As a housing service, we want to ensure we are accountable to tenants who live in our properties, and we are committed to being transparent about our performance.

Our tenant-led performance group has carefully selected a suite of indicators to be reported each quarter (every 3 months). Some of the key indicators are displayed in the trend graphs below, which show changes over the past four quarters.

See the full suite of tenant-chosen performance indicators here.

For a more in-depth look into our performance, please view our more extensive suite of indicators. These are presented at the Housing Advisory Board meetings.

Legend:

  • Q2 - quarter two, 1 July to 20 September 2024
  • Q3 - quarter three, 1 October to 31 December 2024
  • Q4 - quarter four, 1 January to 31 March 2025
  • Q1 - quarter one, 1 April to 30 June 2025

Repair completion times

Average working days for a standard repair to be completed


Satisfaction with communication

Percentage of tenants satisfied with updates and communication during standard repairs


Void properties

Number of voids (empty properties) at the end of the quarter

We are working hard to reduce the number of void properties by increasing staff resources and appointing an external contractor to carry out some void work. The number of void properties started to reduce in Q1, and we expect to see further improvement throughout the year.


Evictions

Number of evictions during the quarter

Eviction numbers are generally low and can vary from quarter to quarter. The majority of evictions are for non-payment of rent.


Housing Register

Number of households on the waiting list

The number of households on the housing register is increasing. The main reason for this is the increasing cost of private accommodation, which reduces options available for families across the borough.


Anti-social behaviour cases

Number of open anti-social behaviour (ASB) cases at the end of the quarter


Complaints performance

Complaints responded to within timescales
