Persimmon Homes

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Still no shops after a couple of years. Broken trees, bad pathways and dimly lit area when trying to walk at night. Houses crowded in. Lack of parking in some areas.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How awful Persimmon build their houses. AVOID PERSIMMON AT ALL COSTS.

What is the best feature of your home:

The layout. We like the design which is why we purchased our style home.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Been here for over a year now and there have been 4 different site managers and now no-one who you can contact about the defects that we encountered over a year ago which still have not been done.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

People on this site have been waiting years for their defaults to be fixed.

What is the best feature of your home:

Has blown down YET. Hasn't subsided with flooding YET.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good - great area, lots around such as shops and restaurants. Also a good few play parks for the kids.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How long it would take to complete the road leading to the house.

What is the best feature of your home:

Open plan living area. The garden is a nice size for a new build.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Really good accessibility to shops, travel, would like more leisure activities for example a gym/swimming pool as only local is David Lloyd which is very expensive. Street is quiet during evenings/weekends but is quite busy during the day with builders/workmen (who also treat it like a building site a lot of the time and not where people live, for example reckless driving and parking).

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

A timeline of the ongoing work so we knew how long to expect builders/noise in the area

What is the best feature of your home:

Look of the outside of the home is my favourite part and also the layout

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good location, traffic is very bad however, good access to local amenities. Bins collected regularly but parking is horrendous.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How poor Persimmon Homes are, as you are paying a lot for a new home you expect at least "good" service. The high turnover of site staff also speaks volumes!

What is the best feature of your home:

The size of the house and the location in which it is positioned on the street (in a quiet cul de sac).
