Having worked at a persimmon development for the last 3 years, and watched houses being built over that time all I can say is these houses are not fit for purpose and borderline dangerous. Building materials left to the elements for extremely long periods, timber frames not constructed correctly, inverted brickwork at gable ends, no fire protection. This is a company that is only interested money. Once you have taken ownership of a property you are considered irrelevant and will receive little if any aftercare for the crumbling mess of a false dream you have just been sold. Avoid at all cost!!

Worst experience in my life, never buy another house from them. Most horrible company, they forgot the put CAVITY BARRIERS in the house and my house is a timber frame. A wood house!!!! For all other problems, even it is in 2 year warranty they say why you did not raise this in key release day. It was fckng 20 mins and they expect you to see everything. Never buy a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked for persimmon the methods they use are beyond belief, timber frame panels left in the rain for months on end ,stairs falling apart because they are fitted in minus temperatures so glue doesn’t bond , lowest quality insulation which is sometimes soaking wet due to being delivered in the rain, and many other examples. only interested in getting houses finished no thought put into quality. Always asked why can’t it be done today instead of working out when it is ready

Misled and we feel miss sold our 465k property in Hanson Reach, Stewartby. The property was bought off plan, the plans were transversed and not a true reflection of the property design and layout. We have been in residence for nearly 12 months and our snagging list is still active, from new windows, to kitchen ceiling being cut through to look for banging pipes, to a workman who came to repair pipes then cutting through a gas main pipe. Appalling experience which has caused untold stress and ill health on our family.

My daughter saved hard and sadly bought a Persimmon home.. She couldn't wait to move wrote a snagging list which was passed onto the site sales rep wrote a second snagging list which was passed onto the rep. Not one issue on those snagging lists have been resolved now after 2 years Customer couldn't Care deny receiving anything and say its now passed the warranty period.. Anyway she settled in and went for a shower which flooded the lounge. Phoned the help line they duly turned up the next day and found the outflow hadn't been plumbed in... She had to clean up her brand new house on her first night... I recently had to redo the plumbing as the same thing happened again... The quality of the repair was shocking nothing tightened etc. I have bought loads of houses over the years and I have never encountered such all round shoddy botched up workmanship ever. I wouldn't trust them to put one brick on top of another without cocking it up.. I loathe this company with a venom as everyone here says they are a disgrace. I hope they go bust.... Whatever you do, do not buy one of their homes you be better of buying shed from B and Q.

They were supposed to remedy H & S issues with the large main entrance to our multi build Estate. They consistently dodged and appealed and now, after over 6 years THIS is our Estates main entrance. We now have to come and go thru a tiny winding residential road.. Madness.. Newton Abbot Fairways..

Shockingly bad after care, never returning phone calls, trying to find a reasons not to repair our house, despite our warranty.

Sad to see so many bad reviews, these really scared me after i bought my Persimmon house but I have moved to the Ellesmere Port site and the house is everything I could ask for, few minor jobs as expected with new house but the site manager is really good and helpful couldn’t ask for more!

Customer after service is extremely poor. If I could turn back the clock I would not purchase from this company. Member of staff I spoke with about an existing issue was rude, unprofessional and just clueless.

Ohhh please never ever buy from persimmons. Rubbish customer care after sale. More interested in profit and bonuses rather than care and service.

House has been fine and no complaints of the property. I would rate higher but serious land complaints. Our back garden does nothing but get water logged, un tendered areas surrounding property causing me lose value in property, mono block roads were unsafe a few months after being laid. Have chased persimmon for nearly 2 years to get the areas corrected but either never reply, when they do they say they will chase it up and on a few occasions have been told it will be done within the next few months. Absolute disgrace with customer service, manager are no help. Just want to finish a development and move on. Yet say they invest in areas, listen to the customers etc etc. Been sending emails to customer service every few days and nothing. Our estate is an accident zone waiting to happen.
