The regulator's grade

C1

The Regulator of Social Housing checks how well landlords treat tenants. It gave One Manchester grade C1 on 24 September 2025.

C1 means the landlord is doing what the regulator expects. Grades go from C1 (best) to C4 (worst).

How it compares

We compared One Manchester with 71 similar landlords: housing associations, 10,000 homes or more. These are tenants' answers to the 2025/26 survey and the landlord's own records.

Overall satisfaction: 75.9% of tenants were happy with the service. That puts it in the upper middle of similar landlords. ↑ Up from lower middle in 2024/25.

Repairs and homes: in the upper middle.

Being heard: in the top quarter. ↑ Up from upper middle in 2024/25.

Neighbourhood: in the top quarter.

Top quarter means it did better than at least three in four similar landlords. Bottom quarter means it did worse than at least three in four.

Complaints to the Housing Ombudsman

In 2025-26, the Housing Ombudsman looked at complaints about One Manchester Limited. It made 40 findings. It found the landlord at fault in 38% of them. It ordered or recommended £15,350 in compensation.

From October 2025 the Ombudsman looks at how complaints were handled in every case. So these figures are not comparable with earlier years.
