Leaseholder satisfaction survey

What it is

We worked with Service Insights to survey a representative sample of 565 leaseholders.  

Leaseholders were called between January to February 2024 and asked about their satisfaction with: 

  • responsive repairs 
  • major works 
  • service charges 
  • Leaseholder services 

The survey results give visibility of our performance to leaseholders and give us an idea of where we can improve.

Overall satisfaction 

This measure is often used as the main headline measure of service performance. We achieved a leaseholder satisfaction score of 29.9%, but dissatisfaction with this measure was 43.0%.  

Our London borough peer group had satisfaction scores between 24.5% and 54.0%. 

Highest scoring measures 

The top scoring measures were satisfaction with: 

  • information provided for your service charges: 42.7% 
  • conduct of contractors carrying out responsive repairs: 39.2% 
  • information provided about the major works: 34.0% 

Lowest scoring measures 

The lowest scoring measure was ‘responsive repairs providing value for money’. This had a satisfaction score of just 2.8% and a dissatisfaction score of 97.2%.  

Overall, 13 of the 14 satisfaction measures reflected higher levels of dissatisfaction than satisfaction. 

Identifying what drives overall satisfaction 

Based on the results, the top three service areas driving satisfaction are: 

  • information provided about major works 
  • the consultation process of the major works 
  • the overall quality of the major works 

Investing time and energy in these areas of service will help drive overall satisfaction for the majority of leaseholders. 

Conclusions 

The key finding is that there are higher levels of dissatisfaction than satisfaction across the 14 satisfaction performance measures.  

While the highest satisfaction was with ‘information provided for services charges’, this is still a relatively low-ranking score of 42.7%.

What happens next 

Based on the results, the top three service areas driving satisfaction are: 

  • information provided about major works 
  • the consultation process of the major works 
  • the overall quality of the major works 

Investing time and energy in these areas of service will help drive overall satisfaction for the majority of leaseholders. We are also considering the co-creation of an action plan with leaseholders, staff and contractors. This will focus on areas of dissatisfaction.
