Everyone was very helpful

Everyone was very helpful, the friendliness of all the site staff. The finishing touches within the house were very good and not expected, ie door stops to every door to prevent damage to walls.

Buying my first house!

I had Liam as my sales advisor, he made buying the house so easy! I’ve only just moved in so I’ve got a list of snags which I’m confident will get done so let’s hope Persimmon are as excellent as they have been throughout the buying process in their after care. Liam is very organised, approachable and helpful, no complaints.

Jo-Anne and Brenda at Blairgowrie site were amazing during the process. It was to purchase my first home and they did not make me feel pressurised into any decisions I made. They made me feel at ease, supported and stress free.

Persimmon Homes Harlestone Grange Northampton

Great sales team (Toni & Tracy) at Harlestone Grange. Knowledgeable, friendly and very, very helpful. Knew them from Scholars Green, some years before. Well designed and built houses. Their developments seem more spaciously laid out than some other more crammed-in ones, giving the impression of a big sky above. Our second Persimmon Homes purchase in a bit over four years, and very happy with both, on all fronts.

My sales advisor Sophie at Regency…

My sales advisor Sophie at Regency meadows site is incredible. She not only showed myself around 2 homes, she even let my parents and my boy view them whilst I was at work. She’s explained everything and been very helpful and listened to my needs throughout. I cannot thank her enough, she is lovely, polite and kind. Oh and very helpful.

Simple process so far

I have not long received the keys for the new home and it was very rushed as it was the last few plots left on the site.

The process was seamless and to be honest I can’t complain, everything that’s been picked up on a snag is being slowly worked on and nothing major has been highlighted.

The sales team were great and the site manager is still working with us as this is my first house I can’t compare, although persimmons have been great with the whole process.
