Dave Plastic Surgeon.

Dave, Plastic Surgeon on behalf of Persimmon Homes has just been to complete a re paint of my front door and from start to finish he has been anazing. Polite, on time, really skillful and informative. He has made a fantastic job of the door with no mess or disruption at all and also polished out a scrape on the back doorstep which now looks like new.
Cannot recommend him enough.
Thanks Dave for a brilliant job!

I don’t understand why Persimmon pushed to complete before the place was ready to be lived in. The communal stairs and hallway did not have carpet. This was being laid on the day our new sofa and bed were delivered. We ended up with muck being trodden in.
The wrong radiators had been fitted in the bathrooms.They are now being replaced so more muck on our carpets. I would have preferred to wait until this had all been finished. I told my solicitor this, but she had been told it would all be done.

Overall a decent / average home builders. A few cracks in their system which i think needs to be ironed out. Communication for the most part is weak, Finishing touches being done on pen and paper in 2026 feels barbaric amongst this a lot of other thing which i will not go into detail on.

Very happy with their service

Very happy with their service. We used our own solicitors they were not helpful at all and Persimmon did their best to help us to make sure that we will receive our keys on time, they were chasing them. Very grateful for everything they have done for us. The house is amazing and everything we have reported they sort it for us straight away.

The staff have been great especially Dawn. So helpful. The house is lovely, really pleased. Unfortunately we have been disappointed with such a small point in the great scheme of things. Every skirting board has been cut when fitting the carpets. The touching up of the paintwork is disappointing. Waiting for customer services to get in touch. It is very early days as yet. Been impressed with so much about buying a Persimmon property.

A fantastic team to help us buy our forever home

From start to finish, the whole process has been made unbelievably easy to purchase our new home, assisted by great customer service from the whole team at Mill Gardens.

We would like to give a special mention to Coleen. What a superstar, such enthusiasm for every aspect of the purchase and gave us way beyond the usual levels of customer service.
