A STAR is Born

HouseMark has announced the launch of a new, free, voluntary methodology to help devise surveys and measure satisfaction in the housing sector. A co-regulatory tool, STAR (Survey of Tenants and Residents) replaces the now defunct STATUS satisfaction questionnaire, which was previously a regulatory requirement. STAR reduces the number of core satisfaction questions from 36 (in STATUS) to 7, with a range of optional questions for landlords to choose from to suit their local circumstances.
*STAR will enable on-going, national comparisons of tenant satisfaction in key areas that matter most to tenants and landlords.
*STAR is fully flexible and can be undertaken by post, telephone, electronically or face-to-face.
*HouseMark will collect core STAR results in its annual benchmarking exercise, along with cost and performance information, enabling robust comparisons and value for money judgements to be made.
