How we’re performing
Regulatory rating
Connexus is rated G1/V2 by the Regulator of Social Housing.
A G1 rating for governance means Connexus meets the governance requirements of the regulator. A V2 rating for viability means Connexus meets the viability requirements of the regulator. It has the financial capacity to deal with a reasonable range of adverse scenarios but needs to manage material risks to ensure continued compliance.
You can read our most recent judgement on the regulator's website. We complete an annual self-assessment against the Consumer Standards set out by the Regulator - you can view our latest self-assessment here.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures
On 1 April 2024 the Regulator of Social Housing updated their consumer standards. Housing associations like Connexus must meet these, along with other economic viability standards, to be compliant with the regulatory code that the Regulator sets.
A landlord’s progress and compliance with the standards are monitored by the Regulator through an ongoing inspection regime as well as annual self-assessments. They also look at how each landlord is performing using a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs).
The TSMs standard has twenty-two measures, comprised of ten management information measures and twelve satisfaction measures which cover five key themes:
- Keeping properties in good repair
- Maintaining building safety
- Respectful and helpful engagement
- Responsible neighbourhood management
- Effective handling of complaints, alongside an additional measure for overall satisfaction with landlord services.
Connexus’s tenants are asked the TSM questions in telephone surveys carried out by an independent company called IFF Research. You can learn more on the Customer Feedback and Performance page.
Connexus is working on a new Customer Service Strategy for launch in late 2025, which will directly address areas such as communication and involvement, as highlighted by our customer feedback. Complaint handling and tackling the causes at source are other critical areas that we are prioritising for improvement, with several key projects in place to enhance our service delivery.
You can see how Connexus performed in the table below. Benchmarking data is provided for the reporting year 2023-2024, with the RSH’s analysis of the latest data expected around October/November 2025.
