MY DREAMS COME THROUGH.....

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Persimmon Homes at The Maples in Braintree. Buying a home is a huge milestone, and Aaron, the Sales Director, along with Sales Advisors Zoe and Kris, made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
From the outset, they were professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile. Their guidance and support throughout the purchasing process were exceptional, and they played a key role in helping me secure my mortgage offer from Barclays Bank. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure I always knew what to expect.
What really stood out was their genuine commitment to customer service. They made me feel valued throughout the entire journey and were always on hand to provide reassurance and practical advice whenever it was needed.
I am extremely very grateful to Aaron, Zoe, and Kris for all their hard work, dedication, and support in helping me purchase my beautiful new home. I would highly recommend Persimmon Homes at The Maples in Braintree to anyone looking for a new-build home. Thank you all for making such an important milestone a fantastic experience!

Dave Plastic Surgeon.

Dave, Plastic Surgeon on behalf of Persimmon Homes has just been to complete a re paint of my front door and from start to finish he has been anazing. Polite, on time, really skillful and informative. He has made a fantastic job of the door with no mess or disruption at all and also polished out a scrape on the back doorstep which now looks like new.
Cannot recommend him enough.
Thanks Dave for a brilliant job!

I don’t understand why Persimmon pushed to complete before the place was ready to be lived in. The communal stairs and hallway did not have carpet. This was being laid on the day our new sofa and bed were delivered. We ended up with muck being trodden in.
The wrong radiators had been fitted in the bathrooms.They are now being replaced so more muck on our carpets. I would have preferred to wait until this had all been finished. I told my solicitor this, but she had been told it would all be done.
