Landlords in Wales aren't part of the English tenant satisfaction survey whose scores we show for landlords in England, so there are no scores on this page.
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 Public Services Ombudsman for Wales's decisions for "Carmarthenshire County Council" on its website. No results is common for small landlords and usually a good sign.
- 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 Carmarthenshire.
