The project

Creating before-and-after evidence for targeted estate investment

A repeat survey design that allowed Clarion to compare resident experience before and after local engagement and improvement activity.

01

The brief

Clarion was delivering targeted engagement and improvement works across priority estates in Merton. Staff first engaged residents directly to identify issues relating to tenancies, properties, and the local area, after which improvement works were undertaken. Enventure Research was commissioned to assess the impact through baseline and evaluation surveys.

02

The approach

Questionnaires were tailored to each estate and covered property and neighbourhood satisfaction, belonging, and attitudes towards Clarion as a landlord. Baseline surveys were completed before resident-engagement days and improvement activity, with follow-up surveys undertaken afterwards. Experienced IQCS-trained interviewers made multiple contact attempts at different times of day to maximise participation.

03

The outcome

Baseline and evaluation research was undertaken across a number of target estates, allowing Clarion to compare resident views before and after its engagement and improvement activity. The findings provided evidence to assess impact and support planning of future works.

  • Estate-specific questionnaires reflecting local priorities
  • Baseline measurement before engagement and improvement activity
  • Follow-up research to assess change after works were undertaken
  • Evidence designed to support impact assessment and future planning
