Excellent experience with Persimmon Homes

I had an excellent experience with Persimmon Homes from start to finish. The team provided outstanding customer service, kept me informed throughout the process, and were always available to answer any questions.

The build was completed on time as promised, which made the whole experience stress-free. Even after completion, their aftercare and support have been responsive, professional, and helpful whenever needed.

I would happily recommend Persimmon Homes to anyone looking for a reliable housebuilder with great customer service, timely completion, and excellent ongoing support. Thank you to the whole team for making the experience so positive.

Good experience- approachable reps and staff around site.

Very approachable reps and staff around the site. All persons that we have had contact with for various reasons have been professional and friendly. The house itself is to a good/high standard in terms of finish with a few little things here and there. When discussing these site manager (Steve) has been on the ball. No complaints apart from the grass turfing being a bit delayed but other than that very happy and lucky with our house at Herrington Grange.

Professional, high quality painting work

Big thanks to Paddy and Gary from the customer care painting team. They’ve just finished some work on my skirting boards and door frames, and they look absolutely sensational.

I was quite an anxious buyer as I was…

I was quite an anxious buyer as I was dealing with buying my new home on my own. Now that I have moved to my new home (because home is the right way to describe the feeling I had as soon as I brought my first boxes in on completion day) Everyone that I have come into contact with have been exceptional. My sales manager (Sharon) who navigated the whole process.(no question was too small for her, even the deliberation of where to put the garden shed) to all the hard working men who work on site. As soon as I mention something to my site manager he has it sorted instantly. He even carried my tumble dryer in for me out the back of the car. I am given the feeling that everyone involved really cares that I am safe, happy and settling in. I plan to live in my new home for a long time. The finish internally is of a very high standard which is piece of mind to me because it gives me confidence moving forward and I am assured that in the future if help is needed there is an infrastructure in place to help. Thank you all for caring. I would recommend persimmon homes to anyone who asked my opinion.

Persimmons has sets of competent team ranging from the site sales officers, the duo of Julie and Rob, to the site management, contractors and other craft men working tirelessly to achieve a business goal in the areas of quality and standard project delivery/product and services. We appreciate these whole team support from search, to mortgage guidiance, to buying and to completion and to moving home. We can as well appreciate the post completion support too like registering of our new post code with the post office, council bin application and utility provider registration and snag complaint form follow up and closing.

The list is endless in what this Persimmons team do and therefore the current service is excellent and acceptable.

I would advise continuous improvement through using feedback like this, check list or other KPI metrics to assess the ongoing performance of the site team. This is on course as planned.

At the moment there is nothing to advise other than to sustain the excellent performance and if possible to surpass it.
Thank you for your support always.

Our dream house made completely…

Our dream house made completely possible by persimmon homes, we moved in 2 weeks ago and the staff and all associated with persimmon have been amazing throughout. We completed a part exchange and the whole process was as easy as 123. Would highly recommend also the site plans don’t do the property any justice, way bigger than expected and a superior build quality amazing

HARLESTONE GRANGE

HARLESTONE GRANGE, NORTHAMPTON:
Moved in on 26th June, but had to report the boiler a day later due to cold water throughout the property caused by an air lock which hadn’t been checked prior. Not ideal with a record breaking heatwave and a toddler. Spoke to Customer Care who has not responded. 8th July - Call out due to low water pressure and pressure gauge in boiler significantly dropped. We also have an overhanging dry verge which we have requested to be sorted as this hangs over our driveway, creating a massive risk. Water pressure was sorted & gauge adjusted but nobody has yet attended for the dry verge, which was also on their repairs report prior to us moving in.
9th July - Came downstairs to a very damp ceiling in the living room which has covered over our light also. Spoke to site manager who said he’d find a plumber and have it sorted. This was shortly after 10am and it is now 3pm, but nobody has attended. Site manager also didn’t have a copy of the repairs report, all of which should have been done prior to us moving in. Concerns with water pressure and pipes were noted on there.

Cannot fault the Sales Team whatsoever, however these checks should have been done by the appropriate contractors and with ignorance from the Customer Care Team, this is less than satisfactory.

We still have the Waking Watch system…

We still have the Waking Watch system in place, despite numerous complaints from residents that it is a complete waste of time. We still await clarification as to who is paying for this. We the residents, have no intention of paying for something that is directly down to the failure of Persimmon Homes to both build in a suitable communal fire system when the flats were built or subsequently.

MY DREAMS COME THROUGH.....

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Persimmon Homes at The Maples in Braintree. Buying a home is a huge milestone, and Aaron, the Sales Director, along with Sales Advisors Zoe and Kris, made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
From the outset, they were professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile. Their guidance and support throughout the purchasing process were exceptional, and they played a key role in helping me secure my mortgage offer from Barclays Bank. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure I always knew what to expect.
What really stood out was their genuine commitment to customer service. They made me feel valued throughout the entire journey and were always on hand to provide reassurance and practical advice whenever it was needed.
I am extremely very grateful to Aaron, Zoe, and Kris for all their hard work, dedication, and support in helping me purchase my beautiful new home. I would highly recommend Persimmon Homes at The Maples in Braintree to anyone looking for a new-build home. Thank you all for making such an important milestone a fantastic experience!
