Newlon Housing Trust: Customer Satisfaction Surveys 2014/15 Q1-3
Contents • Methodology • Customer Satisfaction survey - Summary of key results - What drives overall satisfaction • Repairs survey - Summary of key results • Conclusions
Methodology • Research programme consists of two telephone surveys: Customer Satisfaction, and Responsive Repairs. • Fieldwork takes place on a quarterly basis, with 250 Customer Satisfaction, and 200 Repairs interviews completed each quarter. • For the Customer Satisfaction survey we interview a sample of tenants with targets set by tenure type, while for the Repairs survey we interview tenants who have had a repair completed in the last 3 months. • To ensure the results are representative of Newlon’s overall stock, the Customer Satisfaction data is weighted by tenure type (General Needs, Leaseholder, Intermediate rents) and no. of bedrooms (1, 2, 3, 4+). The Repairs data is also weighted by no. of bedrooms, as well as by contractor (Breyer, BSW Heating, R W Porter Electrical, and others). • Interviewing for Q1 took place Jan- Feb 2014, Q2 interviewing in May 2014, and Q3 in Aug 2014

Conclusions • Key results for the Customer Satisfaction survey have remained in line with Q2, with scores remaining below what we have seen from other London organisations • There are significant differences in satisfaction by ward, with Haringey significantly outperforming the other wards where we can make a comparison (Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington) • However, Repairs scores have improved from Q1, which indicates an upward trend in performance over time (especially when the results of the 2013 STAR survey are taken into account) • Although they do not receive a repairs service, most contact from leaseholders and shared owners relates to repairs • There may be scope in future waves to look at what repairs leaseholders/shared owners are enquiring about • Given the strong relationship between repairs and overall service satisfaction, we would expect the gains made in repairs to lead to increases in overall service satisfaction over time • There may also be scope in future waves to look at the views of those who are still waiting to have a repair done
