    AVOID Persimmon at all costs

    Unhappy (Owner)

    Kett's Meadow, NR9

    Oct 2023

    There is a nice design with lots of paths and walking areas. However, these are badly kept. There is waste and rubbish from the builders everywhere. The pathways are a nightmare and very uneven making them a potential trip hazard. Already been dug up in some areas so looks like a used estate now.

    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.

    Seriously think about buying one of these. They are shoddily built and the customer service after you bought one is rubbish

    Site not maintained even though we have to pay each year. Flower bed areas are full of weeds and the main road through is cluttered with un-planted shrubs and trees etc in wooden containers. Our access road is full of potholes and has not been tarmacked yet and we have been here over a year.

    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.

    Nice development, issues with property

    Todd P (Owner)

    Verified Resident

    The Croft, BS16

    Mar 2023

    The development itself is nice, looks eye pleasing and is quite spacious for a new development. However the property we moved into was riddled with issues. Our surrounding neighbours have also had issues. Mostly to do with drainage waste! The main road leading to our property still hasn’t been completed years after moving in.

    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.

    Overall really happy with the service received.

    Overall really happy with the service received. We have had a couple of issues lately that we’re never responded to (voicemails left) or followed up after an initial visit so those problems are still outstanding and shouldn’t feel I need to chase this. But overall with other problems we’ve had and the timeliness has been good. Our biggest issue is the amount of potholes in the roads that don’t seem to be getting fixed. Understand there will be some whole development is ongoing but there are some major ones still that can cause damage to people’s cars.

    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

    Persimmon Homes - The Croft, Lyde Green

    K Pedley (Owner)

    Verified Resident

    Mar 2023

    Area is poorly designed, garages are too small to park standard sized cars in and a lot of houses have two or more cars so people park dangerously. No crossings in place, makes it very difficult and dangerous to attempt to cross roads. Not enough bins either for the amount of service charge that we pay.

    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).
