HANSON REACH, STEWARTBY, BEDS. For the past 12 months we as a family have been bullied by this multi million pound company all because of their shoddy build which has compromised our safety and security, we therefore erected a fence to secure our property because they installed a mains insolater switch in our mains electric which is accessible by the general public as the mains cabinets are mounted on our external boundary line. Today we have found out Persimmons are sueing us for trespass. The little family of NHS workers, who paid 465K for what should have been our dream home being pursued through the courts because of their wrong doing, shame on you Persimmons. Our home was bought off plan in Hanson Reach in stewartby, Bedfordshire in Jan 2019. We had significant major snags I.e. Bay windows too small and both had to be removed. Kitchen ceiling cut through looks for banging pipes not secured, the list has gone on and on for over 1 year and the stress to my family has been significant, resulting in ill health to both my husband and I. We have now just had an independent Chartered Suveyors building report undertaken, the report is compiled of 67 pages full of faults with the property. 2 significant faults, 1 being the mains gas pipes tight under our bedroom floor, so tight that when Persimmons came to investigate banging pipes the engineer cut through the live gas mains and another the main structural RSJ has no bolts to secure them in place. We also have an electricity mains and gas mains installed on the outer wall of our property which is in fact our boundary line. The elecrtic box is over 9m aware from the fuse board hence a power supply switch is installed in the cabinet accessible by anyone walking on the footpath to the side of our property and who could in effect turn our mains off, rendering our intruder alarm and CCTV useless and our property unprotected. Persimmons sold us our 465k property with a shared Private Road with our neighbour, there is no signage in place to indicate a private road and they refuse to install one. This company have no pride, respect or a willingness to complete the build to a satisfactory level. It is all about short timescale and maximum profit. At no time was the customer experience ever a factor. I loath this company beyond belief and the absolute nonchalant attitude, condesention, lack of regard to the quality, faults and the money we have paid for the house. PLEASE DO NOT BUY A PERSIMMONS PROPERTY AT HANSON REACH STEWARTBY, it will make you very ill whilst you work through faults and major issues with your new house

A 465k property, appalling faults from day 1. Bay windows too small, electric supply to megaflow electric cable was stretched to reach and therefore breached install regs. Serious concerns about significant lust of issues. We had a an independent structural survey undertaken the report is 68 pages long which contain 2 major concerns. The first is the mains gas pipe installed tight under our master bedroom floor which breaches regulations, the second is the main structural beams which have no nuts or bolts to secure them in place. The lust is endless. Please stay away from Persimmons zhadon Reach Stewartby, the properties are built by substandard resource and managed by substandard personnel. Our dream home at 465k has caused us so much stress and unhappiness I hate the sight of it. Shame on you persimmons.

We have a persimmon home in Stewarby Beds, I will not bore you with the list of snags which have yet to be completed. I honestly think the government should be doing more about this. It’s almost as if the Builder’s have them in their pocket. Why on earth in this day and age should they be able to get away with this. There should be say 5-10% held back for one year by an independent and not released until every thing within reason is up to standard and regulation. One star Is far more than they deserve.

I will never recommend anyone to buy a house made by Persimmons. As it comes with many defects. You will notice a crack on walls usually its a paint coming off. Bathroom sealant will start coming off only after couple of months into the property. Try reporting it, all you get is its due to temperature as their response, keep house at 18`c at all times. Their will be so many defects that you can't write everything.Customer service will try to pin the blame on you straight without any shame. I mean look at this Persimmon people running scam on innocent people.

Me and my husband put a deposit on a new build house last February and we was told that our new build house should be done by April so we put our current house on the market and we where sold by our local estate agent but little known to me and my husband the estate agent was covering up that our buyer was having issues in selling there property so we hassled to find another buyer quick by permission homes which we managed yet our house wasn't even nearly build and we got hasseld again to come and do our fixtures and fittings upgrades which we did and we put a significant amount of money towards this then we lost our buyers again and was hasseld again by permission homes as they said our house is going to be finished by November but it wasn't and as we wasn't sold then we they emailed my husband on the day of my husband's brothers furneral to say that because we haven't sold yet they have received market it and let someone else purchase our house and to this day march 2020 our new build house is still not ready and the people they let have our house are still not moved in but now I think we had a lucky escape from by from permission new build houses as they are money grabbers and they are only capable of pie crust promises easy made and easy broken as I said we put a substantial amount of money towards our upgrades which we never got back they really are just a bunch of money grabbers

Avoid at all costs. Bunch of cowboys. Also, check that your loft cavity is insulated as outlrs wasnt after promises of it being done. Also having plumbing issues they are taking time to sort out. No care at all.

We have reported a list of snags during our moved-in inspection. The customer care kept delaying the repairs for 2 years and is not plainly refusing to do anything as it's past the warranty. This is despite us chasing them multiple times and them assuring us that any issues reported prior to warranty expiry date would be fixed. Terrible customer service.

DON'T BUY ONE OF THESE HOMES BAD BAD BAD QUALITY OF WORK. Saved hard brought a flat off plan which they took forever to build kept coming up with excuses for delays, finished 6 months late. I was on the third floor no lift as they threw a part away kept being promised it would work, unable to move in completely and family to visit for 6 months. If there are any snags they remind you that they will do it as courtesy if they will do at all and they don't. Just be prepared to do yourself and pay out more money. Really are a poor builder that don't care about there buyers at all. Its about time this company should be look into as they are building homes that they make you complete on so they can get your money when the workmanship is very very poor.

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
