How we collect this data

Management performance information

The information on our housing services has been directly measured through information we already hold on our systems. 

Tenant Satisfaction Measures

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are government measures that hold housing associations like Accent and local councils to account, checking the quality of homes and services being provided. They also help our customers understand how well we’re doing as a business. 

There are 22 types of TSMs in total, with some subcategories. These TSMs are divided into two categories:

  • 10 Management Information Measures (MIMs), which are measured directly through information we hold on our systems

  • 12 Tenant Perception Measures (TPMs), which we measure through an annual tenant perception survey 

Unless it says otherwise, all TSM scores on this page are a combination of answers from low-cost home ownership (LCHO) tenants, and our low-cost rental accommodation (LCRA) customers. 

You can find more information about our scoring system in the documents linked at the bottom of this page.
