Charles Church offers purchasing incentives such as Part Exchange and its own Home Change scheme. Prospective buyers should be aware that while Charles Church promotes a commitment to high-quality construction, the wider Persimmon Group brand has historically faced public criticism regarding build quality and customer service, an important factor for due diligence on any new build purchase.
