How to check Barnsbury Housing Association's reputation
There are no published tenant satisfaction scores for Barnsbury Housing Association. Landlords with fewer than 1,000 homes must still measure tenant satisfaction and share the results with their own tenants, but they don't have to send them to the regulator, so no national figures exist. With about 299 homes, Barnsbury Housing Association is in that group.
You can still get a good picture before you swap into one of their homes:
- Ask for their tenant satisfaction results and complaints report. Every social landlord must publish its complaints policy and a yearly report on the complaints it has handled, usually on its website or on request.
- Search the Housing Ombudsman's decisions for "Barnsbury Housing Association" in the decisions archive. No results is common for small landlords and usually a good sign.
- Check the regulator's judgements. The Regulator of Social Housing lists any regulatory judgements and notices it has published about a landlord.
- Ask the tenant you're swapping with. How quickly are repairs done? How easy is it to get hold of someone? Is there a tenants' group? A current tenant's answer is often the best guide.
- Look at the area too. Most of their homes are in Islington: see our Islington guide for what it's like to live there.
