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.

Absolute scum bags and rotten all the way through like Cancer! Sickening how in a civilised country these pieces of S##t are allowed to operate. The star rating doesn’t work as it stands on one star, that is a huge compliment to this devouring, unscrupulous, racist, money robbing, lying, evil, amateur, xenophobic pieces of pure pond life.

Persimmons can legally scam you out of money with Finishing Touches, the optional extras they encourage you to buy when buying one of their poor quality houses. We bought an optional extra and then they decided to pull out of the contact, not us them. When I requested a refund for what we had bought they refused. They then put the house back on the market with what we had paid for. I have no access to this item and basically I feel like I have been scammed. Apparently Permissions does this trick to many buyers and some even pays £10s of thousands. To be perfectly honest I'm surprised Trading Standards don't get involved because if anyone else took money for goods then refused to deliver it would be fraud. Be warned people, you have no right to redress with these cowboys and are a law unto themselves.

As a former employee I would say avoid working for the company. They suggest that they are a company who care for employees however from experience I can say that this is not the case I am afraid.

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!!

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.

AVOID!!!!AVOID!!!AVOID!!!!AVOID!!!! Owned my (shoddy built) Persimmon home for over 5 years and still have structural defects. Persimmon homes had been notified when the property was still in warranty and this dates back to 2017 which have still not been resolved. Long story short they have no interest in resolving my issues which I have now had to take legal action. P.S - Dont bother with the NHBC they are just as useless!!!

It is the worst house we have ever brought. They could'nt care less about any problems you have. We had leaks through the ceilings,on the day we were given the keys workman were still in our hose painting. They are currently throwing up the last fase of houses, and if i had seen the way they build i would never had brought. I have watched from my lounge window workman urinating over house materals used to build the houses. All paint work goes yellow i just a few months. And do not pay for any up grades as the charge 3 times more then if you go direct to the companys they use.

UNPROFESSIONAL After my last review of Persimmon Doncaster. They have since decided to get into my garden via my locked gate. As they could not gain access they jumped over my fence from my neighbours house to do some work that I knew nothing about instead of ringing me and making an appointment. After completing the work they decided to leave all my bins in the middle of the garden killing my new grass, sweep the dirt into the corner of my garden and leave my house a mess yet again. I can not believe just how unprofessional Persimmon are. I was then sat watching TV when I heard dripping (it was raining outside) to go into my downstairs toilet to find water pouring down my wall from the extractor fan. The next morning the site manager did come out and said it was condensation. After explaining to him that I used to work in the trade and wasn’t stupid he decided to go to the external wall to see that they had put the pet outside upside down so the water was managing to get through rather than running off it. Just another example of the incompetency.

We went to look at houses being built at Cranford Chase Kettering on behalf of our daughter. We were very disturbed to see some houses covered in a white substance. It was very bad. On investigation we read this is caused by a substance leaching out of cheap bricks. It would have to be scrubbed off the bricks. I wonder where I would stand if I booked a plot and put down a deposit, to then be faced with one of these?.

Persimmon homes are amazing, they made the process of buying my property very easy, always there to help and most especially after have moved into my property, they have offered a helping hand even before you ask. My property is at the Wickets Sittingbourne road Maidstone. And building is beautiful, it's a home not a house. I will recommend Persimmon homes for you.

We moved in to our house 2 years ago. The build of these houses is dire. We have a crack that runs from the top of the kitchen window all the way to the bottom of the upstairs bedroom window.
