Charles Church offers various purchase assistance schemes on selected plots, including Help to Buy – Wales, Part Exchange, and Home Change. While Charles Church has achieved a 5-star HBF rating, prospective buyers are advised to conduct due diligence, as the developer (a premium brand of Persimmon Homes) has faced some historical public criticism regarding post-completion snagging and customer service response times on other developments.
