This company is a bunch of cowboys- the job they do is shocking. My garden is awful and has 6 inch ditches in it. They have no pride at all in their work. They have even tar macked over my water meter- I mean who does this!

KEIGHLEY PERSIMMON HOMES I was in the process and interested in buying a home in the KEIGHLEY PERSIMMON BRANSHAW SITE, THANK GOD IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH . The sales staff LADY WAS MANIPULATIVE AND FRAUDULENT , The head office was useless. Rang at least 50 times and got either cut off or put through to voice mail. When the sales woman could be bothered to answer phone, she was absolutely useless.the lady at PERSIMMON decitley pressurised me into selling my home upto 20k below the value of my home so i would buy there property ASAP as she advised me they had big demand for the house plot I wanted to purchase and would be sold to another party but would hold on to my interested home only if I agreed to sell at 20k below the value of my home , so thank God we changed our minds and got the for sale board removed from outside our property which tuck another 20 calls and two weeks , looking at all the bad negative reviews left by PERSIMMON home owners we DIFINENTLY DODGED A BULLET IN NOT BUYING FROM THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY PLEASE FOLKS AT ALL COSTS AVOID THIS COMPANIES NEW BUILDS WEATHER IN KEIGHLEY OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UK THEY ARE ALL THE SAME , THE STAFF ARE OUT TO ROB YOU OF YOUR HARD EARNED EARNINGS BUY SELLING NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE HOMES WITH COST CUTTING IN ALL CORNERS WITH CHEAP MATERIALS AND CHEAP UNPROFESSIONAL LABOURERS

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 was hasseld when we payed a deposit to sell our house we was told our new build houses would be ready by April then it went on to july then still wasn't done we also payed for upgrades and told our house will be done in November that never happened then we got told hopefully by the December then our buyers for our present house pulled out then we was pressured to be sold by November then they emailed my husband on the day off his brothers furneral to say that because we haven't sold yet they have sold it to another purchaser and so we lost a lot of money through them and no sympathy I feel they could at least waited till after Christmas as the house was not even finished even now the house is not finished they are just a bunch of money grabbers definitely would not recommend them they are make pie crust promises easy made and easy broken really disappointed with this company

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

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..
