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:

  • Quarter 2 - 1 July to 30 September 2025
  • Quarter 3 - 1 October to 31 December 2025
  • Quarter 4 - 1 January to 31 March 2026
  • Quarter 1 - 1 April to 30 June 2026

You can see text-only versions of these graphs here, or click on an image to see the results for that indicator.


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. The number of void properties has been steadily reducing for the past year, 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 fall in the number of households on the housing register in Q4 2025/26 was due to the introduction of a hibernation function, where applicants who have not been actively bidding for a long period of time are hibernated. The Housing Register numbers now reflect the number of actively bidding households.


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
