We report our figures quarterly to our Housing Advisory Board who support us to set targets on the areas that matter the most to residents.
Our KPIs also comply with the Regulator of Social Housing’s Consumer Standards and housing legislation.

Average time to Answer calls into the Contact Centre - 15 mins
To improve our communication with residents, we are in the process of piloting a new approach to call handling. Launched towards the end of January, this forms part of our transformation plan involving us directing and triaging calls much more effectively.
The aim of this is to ensure we are doing all we can to deliver the best service to our residents. Since the start of the pilot, we have seen significant improvements with an average time to answer calls currently at 3 minutes 57 seconds.
Percentage of Contact Centre calls answered - 62%
Similar to the recent improvements made to answering calls more quickly, the % of calls answered has also significantly improved since the launch of our pilot.
Our average, the % of calls answered has increased and based on present data, is currently at 86%. This means we are speaking with and able to support a much greater number of residents on a daily basis.
Satisfaction with Contact Centre service (%) - 86%
We are pleased to see the improvement in resident satisfaction and will continue to put measures in place to continue on this trajectory as part of our transformation plan.
Number of new Stage 1 Complaints - 210
Number of new Stage 2 Complaints - 93
We have seen a significant increase in the number of complaints received with the most significant proportion being repairs related. This is a sector wide issue and we are working to address these challenges. Some examples of this include our recently introduced Repairs Service Standard and Repairs Recovery Plan.
Percentage of complaints responded to 'in time' - 60%
Performance has slightly declined in relation to the % of complaints responded to on time, some of which is attributed to the volume of complaints received.
The team is working to ensure that compliance is adhered to and aligned with the Housing Ombudsman' Complaint Handling Code. In order to achieve this, we are reviewing our dedicated Complaint Handling model to ensure we are maximising resources and delivering the best services to our residents.
Average number of void properties - 174
Average days to re-let empty homes - 106
Performance continues to improve in relation to the average number of void properties. This is reducing week on week with a current overall figure of 143 empty homes.
An extensive piece of work is being undertaken focussing on collaborative working to ensure effective empty property management ensuring best outcomes for residents whilst maximising use of housing stock and rental income.
Number of repairs completed - 14,404
In response to legacy service challenges a WIP recovery plan was launched in Q2. As a direct result the number of repairs completed has increased from a monthly average of 3,975 in Q2 to 4,801 in Q3. This representants a positive net completion rate of 492 repairs in Q3 and a reduction in WIP.

Performance continues to remain strong, with less than 0.33% of stock overdue a gas safety check.

We expect to see further improvements to this performance in Q4 as a result.
Electrical Testing Compliance (%) - 96.62%
Performance in this area remains positive and there has been a significant increase as a result of bringing in additional resources. This as resulted on performance improving to 96.74% as of December.
Fire Risk Assessment Compliance (%) - 100%
In response to Q2 challenges additional resources were deployed in securing access for inspection works. This has resulted in all FRA inspections being undertaken within compliant timescales.
Average value of Rent Arrears (£) - £2,918,942
The total value of arrears has increased from Q2 to Q3 as ongoing Univeral Credit migration and cost of living impacts. We should see some stabilisation of this impact as the UC migration completes over the coming months.
Income Caseworkers continue to support our residents to equip them to deal with any challenges the move to UC presents and pay their rent.
Money Advice 'Gains' achieved for Residents this quarter - £78,307

Number of Estate Walkabouts completed - 96
We transitioned into our new operating model in late summer and have faced a number of staffing challenges that we are working hard to overcome.
One of the key drivers for this new operating model was to increase the presence of Housing Officer on our estates. As we continue to embed our new model and recruit new officers, customers will see an increased presence of our officers working within our communities
Average time to Answer calls into the Contact Centre - 11 mins
Call answer times remain our top priority, as we understand it is important that residents can get through to us quickly, in the event of an emergency.
We continue to recruit and train passionate individuals, who are working hard to answer all call on the first attempt. As well as contacting us by telephone, we are open to visitors between 9am-4pm Mon-Weds and every Friday at Whitemoss Road Housing Office. We have a reception service between 9am-4pm at Cheetham Hill housing office on Thursday's and we have a range of online options to contact us directly.
Percentage of Contact Centre calls answered - 67.13%
Performance in this area continues to improve, as response times reduce.
We would like to thank our Resident's for being patient with us during busy periods. Wherever possible we will offer you a callback option so that you can carry on with your day, whilst waiting for us to return your call.
Satisfaction with Contact Centre service - 79%
Resident satisfaction levels have dipped this quarter, even though response times and calls answered have improved. We will review any feedback received on these surveys, to understand the causes for dissatisfaction. This learning will feed into our transformation plan.
Number of new Stage 1 Complaints - 129
Number of new Stage 2 Complaints - 81
There is an increasing trend within Complaints, which is not unusual as this is in-line with what is happening across the Housing Sector. We are reassured that our complaint handling service is accessible and used by Resident's in the event they are unhappy. We will continue to use the data and insight from our complaints to improve our services to Resident's.
Percentage of complaints responded to 'in time' - 64%
Performance in this area is improving, however there is a still a lot of work to do to get to the Housing Ombudsman's target of 100%.
A dedicated complaints and feedback team has been created and additional resources have been assigned to Complaints. This has helped to increase performance YTD and we will continue to monitor this and ensure the figure improves over time.
Average number of void properties - 194
Average days to re-let empty homes - 102
A new model for managing voids has been launched over the summer, meaning the peak we have seen in Q2 is already stablising and reducing.
Service delivery has been completely re-designed and this should start to improve performance going forward.
Number of repairs completed - 11,924
Around 1000 repairs are completed every week by our Contractor EQUANS. Of these, around 35% are raised as emergency repairs currently.
We are working hard to reduce this figure, which will help to create more appointment space in the Operative Diaries. This will give the Contact Centre more appointments to choose from, so your repair can be booked in and completed in a timely manner going forward. "
% of repairs completed on time - 65.07%
The high volume of emergency repairs we receive has an adverse impact on other areas of repairs performance. By working to reduce emergencies, we hope to create more capacity for work to be done 'in-time'.
Average days to complete a repair - 25.6
This figure is in line with our new Service Standards for routine repairs, which Resident's have been a part of shaping.
Resident satisfaction with repairs - 73.75%
We analyse the information our Resident's tell us on these surveys and use this to guide our future improvement plans. There has been a slight improvement in satisfaction overall, between Q1 and Q2.
Gas Servicing Compliance (%) - 99.60%
Performance continues to remain strong, with less than 0.5% of stock overdue a gas safety check. New methods of gaining access have been established, to ensure the Health and Safety of all Resident's is paramount. We expect to see further improvements to this performance in Q3 and Q4 as a result.
Electrical Testing Compliance (%) - 99.87%
Performance in this area remains positive and there has been a significant increase as a result of bringing in additional resources.
Fire Risk Assessment Compliance (%) - 99.95%
Performance has dipped slightly in this area, but it is expected this will be resolved by Q3.
Average value of Rent Arrears - £2,758,752
"The total value of arrears has increased in Q2, putting further pressure on the Housing Revenue Budget, which relies on rental income.
Our Income Caseworkers are working closely with all residents in arrears to offer the support needed to enable them to repay their arrears."
Money Advice 'Gains' achieved for Residents this quarter - £71,208
The Money Advice team support a range of Resident's to access financial benefits and allowances which they may not realise they're entitled to. For Q2 this totalled more than £71,000 in gains. This is helping some of our cities most vulnerable people to sustain their tenancies and live well.
Community Living Fund grants paid - £72,300

Our resident-chaired Your Voice Group for ‘Home’ has been reviewing current repairs performance and co-creating a new service standard for us to work to. This will focus on providing a realistic and achievable model, which meets the needs of residents better. This is due to be published in Quarter 2 and this will set out clear information for Residents on what timescales they can expect their repairs to be completed in.
Days to relet empty homes – 99
The number of re-let days has increased in Q1, due to a range of operational factors affecting performance. A new model for managing Voids and Allocations is being developed currently, with an emphasis on reducing the re-let time and quality of our homes.
Contact Centre calls answered - 64%
During Q1 performance has improved again and the service is working hard to get this figure up further. New staff have filled vacant positions, and a robust induction process has been designed to get them ready to handle calls effectively.
Although wait times and abandon rates continue to be a challenge we are working hard to overcome, the volume of compliments received in Q1 was great. Many customers took the time to compliment the advisor who helped them and overall satisfaction with the Contact Centre operators help was 83% for the year 2023/24.
We want to assure our Residents that we are working very hard to tackle the issues with call wait times and we have implemented a range of process changes this summer, which appear to be making steady improvements to performance.
Complaints responded to in 10 days - 53%
This figure has worsened in Q1 and is well below the average performance figure from the previous year. A variety of factors have contributed to this drop in performance, many of which are being addressed as a priority.
Staff absence and vacancies created a backlog of complaints which went out of time in March and April 2024, and the aftereffects of this have continued into June & July. A new Complaints Handling team has been created within the Repairs & Maintenance Team, as more than 90% of our Complaints relate to this area. This new team includes a dedicated administrator, a Complaints Surveyor and a dedicated Repairs Services Manager – who now oversee all Stage 1, Stage 2 and Housing Ombudsman complaints. The team are managed by a newly appointed Head of Repairs and Maintenance, who is prioritising ‘learning from complaints’ and ‘improving complaint handling timescales’ within their key objectives.
Income Collection - 109%
This is a positive trend and demonstrates that Residents are being supported to pay their rent on time and in advance before tenancies start. This is a pro-active and preventative model, which is proven to reduce Rent Arrears and combined with robust ‘Money Advice’ services, the team are helping our Residents to sustain their tenancies.
Residents satisfied with repairs - 71%
Resident satisfaction with repairs has decreased in Quarter 1 and is currently below target. A range of operational issues have been identified and reported to Equans, and these have become the focus of a Strategic Service Delivery review, from which a detailed action plan will be developed. This work is being monitored at a Senior Executive level in MCC, to ensure these issues are rectified and improved long-term for Residents.
Alongside this there are active Resident Voice groups doing lots of work to review the Repairs Service and many of these group members have been undertaking ‘Scrutiny Training’ in August 2024 to empower them to run a full scrutiny review in future. This is likely to focus on key areas of the Repairs and Maintenance service, as this is the biggest cause for Resident complaints and contacts. The findings from these reviews will always be published in an accessible format and publicised, so that our Residents can hold us to account and see what we are doing to listen to and address their concerns.
Gas Servicing - 99%
Performance continues to remain strong, whilst management continually looks to evolve the service to keep residents safe in their homes
Electrical Testing - 96%
Following a recent service review additional resources were deployed to increase the rate of electrical safety testing. As a result, service delivery has improved.
Fire Risk Assessment - 100%
The current approach to fire safety performs well. Despite this, we will continually look for opportunities to deliver a safer, more efficient service.
Repairs completed on time - 67%
Although there has been an improvement in performance between Q3 and Q4, the results are below target. This is due to the volume of emergency and urgent repairs.
During the year nearly 60% of repairs raised were treated as emergency or urgent, with a target to complete within 24 hours or three days. This high demand means many of the operative’s diaries cannot be ‘appointed’ to general repairs, as their schedules need to be kept open at least 60% of the time to react to emergency and urgent repairs.
In the long term, this has a negative impact for residents who have non-emergency repairs, as they cannot get an appointment easily.
For that reason, our resident-chaired Your Voice Group for ‘Home’ has been reviewing current repairs performance and co-creating a new service standard for us to work to. This will focus on providing a realistic and achievable model, which meets the needs of residents better.
Days to relet empty homes - 80
The number of re-let days has increased in Q4, due to a range of operational factors affecting performance.
The Senior Leadership Team reviews void performance weekly and continues to identify barriers to re-letting homes, taking proactive action wherever possible.
Contact Centre calls answered - 61%
During Q4 performance improved and the service started to stabilise. Several new staff were employed to fill vacant positions, and a robust induction process was followed to get them ready to handle calls effectively.
Although wait times and abandon rates continue to be a challenge we are working hard to overcome, the volume of compliments received in Q4 was great.
Many customers took the time to compliment the advisor who helped them.
Complaints responded to in 10 days - 87%
Further performance improvement was made in Q4. Overall, this performance measure is above target, and we will continue to aim for as close to 100% as possible.
Income Collection - 100%
Performance this quarter was above target for the first time this year. This is due to the team receiving more training on how to use the data and insight provided by the ‘Rent Sense’ system, and indicative data for Q1 24/25 is that this trend will continue.
Residents satisfied with repairs - 79%
Performance increased by 1% but remains well below target. Several key trends and issues have been identified by the feedback team and these have been shared with Equans.
Work is underway to tackle some of these key issues and this work will be included on the agenda of our Your Voice ‘Home’, resident’s group, which will look at opportunities to increase Resident Satisfaction with Repairs.
Gas Servicing - 99%

Fire Risk Assessment - 100%
The current approach to fire safety performs well. Despite this, we continue to look for opportunities to deliver a safer, more efficient service.
Repairs completed on time - 65%
Performance has dipped in Q3, which is due to the impact of winter pressures and the ability to complete certain jobs during poor weather conditions.
Work is underway with our repairs contractor, Equans, to recruit additional specialist support. This will help us to respond to the increased gas and central heating failure calls during the winter period and reduce waiting times for residents.
Days to relet empty homes - 76
The number of re-let days has slightly increased in Q3. This is due to the service dealing with higher than usual numbers of void properties as we launched the Silk Street development.
The Senior Leadership Team review void performance weekly and continue to identify barriers to re-letting homes, taking pro-active action wherever possible.
Contact Centre calls answered - 59%
Q3 includes winter and holiday periods which tend to impact call handling rates due to increased call volumes and a surge in demand before the Christmas closedown.
While we tried to ensure we had enough advisors to meet this demand, sickness and holiday absences presented the team with some challenges during the quarter.
Complaints responded to in 10 days - 85%
There was a small dip, from Q2. This was partly due to the holiday season and a reduction in normal staffing levels. However, overall performance remained above target.
Income Collection - 100%
Performance this quarter was very strong, considering the financial pressures residents can face during the Christmas period. The income and money advice team tailored their service to residents they knew to be most in need of support to help them pay their rent. This included maximising the Community Living Fund.
Residents satisfied with repairs - 78%
Performance dipped by 8% in Q3, which is concerning. This has been flagged up with Equans at the quarterly performance meeting and arrangements have been made to review the resident feedback that has been provided by these customers.

Time to relet empty homes 75 days
Average relet time continues to improve. We are, however, a substantial way from the target of 27 days.
With a more stable surveying function in place, properties can move through the system more quickly. There is a continued focus on meeting the void standard so homes can be let when passed to the lettings team.
The team have focussed on letting the new build apartments at Silk Street. As many of these have been let to current tenants this has increased the amount of voids. The aim is to work through these quickly and relet as soon as possible.
Calls answered by the contact centre 69%
The team continue to work hard to improve call answer rates and reduce waiting times. They have recently recruited a cohort of new advisors and are recruiting again to keep up with resident demand.
Residents have alternative ways of accessing support and the team provides a range of services online, via social media and through webchat. Residents can also drop in to see the team in person in our public offices.
Complaints responded to within 10 days 91%
Although performance is below target, there has been a 12% increase in since Q1. This has been helped by introducing a dedicated feedback officer, and a live dashboard.
This gives the leadership team a continual overview of cases open and overdue. The data is updated daily, to ensure that complaints are answered in time. In addition, all managers across the department have received comprehensive complaints training.
Income collection 98%
Many residents continue to struggle with cost-of-living increases, which negatively impacts on household budgets.
