Developer Context

Persimmon Homes is a large-scale national UK housebuilder. The company holds a 5-star status from the Home Builder's Federation (HBF) in the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey, indicating that over 9 out of 10 customers would recommend them. It is important for potential homebuyers to note that while the company reports high satisfaction, Persimmon has previously faced public criticism regarding build quality and customer service, including a 2020 independent review that highlighted a need to restore its reputation following a systemic failure to install fire-stopping cavity barriers in some properties nationwide. Prospective buyers should conduct their own due diligence, including professional snagging inspections, on their specific plot. Further details on current incentives and build completion timelines (e.g., some units available for July 2025) should be confirmed directly with the development’s sales advisors.

Location and Transport Links

Greetwell Fields benefits from a location on the outskirts of Lincoln, situated just a couple of miles from the city centre.

For rail commuters, Lincoln Central Train Station is nearby (approximately 2.2 miles). This station provides direct rail services, including connections to London King's Cross (under two hours journey time for the area generally) and London St Pancras during the working week. Local public transport is supported by a robust bus network; for example, Stagecoach East Midlands operates services that connect the Central Bus Station to the North Greetwell area in approximately 13 minutes.
