Our performance

We monitor NCHA’s services and ask our customers to tell us how satisfied they are with us. 

Each year, we're required to report back to the Regulator of Social Housing on the work we do and what our customers think about it. The Regulator calls this information Tenant Satisfaction Measures.

Listening to our customers

The things our customers tell us are valuable – we use them to make changes and improve our work. Whether you’re telling us that our services need improving, or that you’d like to have a chance to express your views on changes to our policies, we’re listening. We have lots of ways to tell you about NCHA’s services, and lots of ways to listen to what you say in return.

• We respond to judgements made by the Housing Ombudsman

Our performance report

We’re committed to working with the Housing Ombudsman to improve our performance. The performance report from the Housing Ombudsman [PDF] details decisions made about our organisation. We use this to review where things may have gone wrong and how we can improve our services in the future.
