Buying a new home is a very daunting…

Buying a new home is a very daunting prospect and one of the biggest investments we'll ever make. We have been in and out of the show room numerous times whilst deliberating. Melissa, the New Homes Sales Advisor at Glan Y Coed has been extremely helpful and patient. Nothing has been too much trouble and Melissa has provided all of the information we requested to enable us to make an informed decision on whether to purchase a new home at the site. Her customer service levels have been exemplary.

Plot 20

Plot 20 - Rainham Broadway

There has been a slight lack of proactivity in communication between different members of staff as I have been dealing with Persimmons over the past two years.

Simon Webb has been really helpful in putting efforts to close down issues as quickly as possible. His suggestions regarding communication could really help the team to develop.

Even amid several issues (including some which could have been solved more efficiently), Yvonne Tabram has remained very approachable and friendly. From a customers perspective, that is an amazing trait.

Overall, compared to the issues which I hear others have with their new developments - I am very happy with Persimmons.

We’re glad that Simon has been able to support you with resolving issues efficiently, and we’ll make sure your comments about communication are shared with the wider team, as feedback like this helps us continue to improve.
It’s also wonderful to hear your kind words about Yvonne. Her approachable and friendly manner is something we value highly, and we’ll ensure your praise is passed on to her as well.

Customer Service at Bramble Green, Market Harborough

I rarely write reviews but feel that this review is well deserved.
From the time we put down our early bird deposit at Bramble Green our experience of the site team has been nothing but positive. The sales executive at the development in Market Harborough has gone above and beyond. She has guided us through the whole process and provided guidance and discussed options available to us. She has replied to email queries promptly and has followed through with everything that she has said she will do. I can honestly say that she is the most helpful and professional sales executive that I have encountered during all of my experiences with new developments. We also had the opportunity to view our property at the pre plaster stage. The assistant site manager who showed us round was very knowledgeable and interesting and explained about the structure of the house.
Looking forward to moving into our new home very soon.

Sell new houses not fit for purpose

sold us a brand new house - Kenilworth Gate with a faulty boiler. Moved in Tuesday - had to call someone out as the heating system doesn’t work - they came out Thursday - ‘fixed it’, yet the issue broke again Friday and here we are Monday with a new house, 7 month old baby and no heating. The advice we have been given is to turn the boiler on and off
