What the numbers say about your experience of living in a Moat home.
In April 2023, the Regulator of Social Housing introduced a new requirement for all social housing landlords, like us, to annually report on a set of measures that show how well we’re doing at providing quality homes and services. These are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures.
They measure our performance by asking for your feedback on 22 areas of our service covering the condition of your home, your repairs service, building safety, complaints, customer engagement, and neighbourhood management. Some of these measures are based on feedback from you - the rest is from data we collect as a business.
Over the course of the year, we’ve spoken to 2,684 customers, both tenants and shared owners, to get honest feedback on their experience with us. You've rated our services, your home and your neighbourhood, giving a clear picture of how we’re doing to meet your expectations and where we need to take action.

54.6% of customers in our rented and shared ownership homes are satisfied with the overall service we provide.
How well we've done to: Provide you with an efficient, high-quality repairs service and a home that's in good condition.

How well we've done to: Resolve your complaints promptly and effectively so your concerns are heard and addressed.
Every year, we carry out customer surveys to understand your experience (the good and the bad) of living in a Moat home. In April 2023, we changed the questions we ask and how we ask them. We’ve made these changes due to new requirements from the Regulator of Social Housing, an organisation which sets standards for social housing providers and can take action if these aren't met.
The Regulator has introduced a set of measures to see how well social housing landlords are doing to provide quality homes and services.These are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs). The measures tell us what questions we should be asking our customers and there are also guidelines on how we should report what we find.
Like all housing associations, we’ll report on 22 measures across five key areas:
We'll carry out customer satisfaction surveys which focus on these key services and we'll also report data that we record as a business.
We want you to feel comfortable sharing your feedback, so you're able to be open and honest. That's why we don't speak to you ourselves and choose to work with a company called TLF Research.
The team at TLF Research spoke to 2,684 of our customers over the course of the year - 1907 of these customers rent their homes from us and 777 are shared owners. 90% of these surveys were done over the phone and 10% online so you can provide your feedback in the format that suits you best.
You can read our full methodology statement here. It gives more detail on the method we used to collect feedback and to make sure that feedback truly represents our customers.
We spoke to 2,400 of our customers over the course of the year. These customers were randomly selected, regardless of whether they rent, own part of their home, or live in our over 55s schemes. We make sure we speak to a range of customers so that the feedback we receive truly represents all customers, no matter their age, gender, where they live, or the type of home they live in.
The Regulator of Social Housing has asked us not to include feedback from leaseholders or equity loan holders, so we gather and use feedback from these customers in other ways.
Every year, we'll submit our scores to the Regulator of Social Housing and publish our scores for all customers to see. They'll give you a clear picture of how we're performing and the steps we’re taking to provide you with a better customer experience.
The scores are important to us, too. They help us to understand what we're doing well, where we could do better and what matters most to you. We've set up a group of senior Moat members who meet regularly to look at this feedback and make sure we're taking action where it's needed.
The Regulator is also completing independent surveys with a randomly selected group of social housing customers. If you're contacted, please respond - the Regulator's surveys are another opportunity for your voice to be heard and for the Regulator to identify areas for improvement.
We know you’re the expert when it comes to living in your home and community. That’s why your feedback is important to us. Whether you have a few minutes to spare for a quick survey or want to take on a more regular commitment, there’s something for everyone.
