How it compares

We compared Greatwell Homes with 118 similar landlords: housing associations and for-profit landlords, 1,000 to 9,999 homes. These are tenants' answers to the 2025/26 survey and the landlord's own records.

Overall satisfaction: 77.9% of tenants were happy with the service. That puts it in the lower middle of similar landlords. ↓ Down from upper middle in 2024/25.

Repairs and homes: in the top quarter.

Being heard: in the upper middle.

Neighbourhood: in the upper middle. ↑ Up from lower middle in 2024/25.
