Two thirds of England's social housing belongs to housing associations and other registered providers; the rest is council housing. In any given area you may find both the council and several associations, so it pays to compare specific landlords.

How to find your landlord

You can find an area by search or through its region, for example London. The area page (there are 296 of them) shows who owns the social housing there and leads on to landlord pages such as Leeds City Council.

How to compare landlords

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) are collected and published by the landlords themselves; the median for 2024/25 is 71.8% satisfied overall and 35.5% satisfied with how complaints were handled. The consumer standards grade, from C1 (the best) down to C4, is set by the Regulator of Social Housing. The largest provider, Clarion Housing Group, scores 63.7% satisfaction and holds a C2, while LiveWest Homes stands at 85.9%. The regulator's ratings were taken on 28 October 2026 and may lag behind recent changes.
