Practical Information

The full price list for 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom homes ranges from £184,950 to £319,950. Specific available plots have completion dates extending to July 2025, but current availability must be confirmed with the sales office. Financial schemes such as Part Exchange, Home Change, and New Build Boost are available on selected plots, along with a Gen H equity loan option for eligible buyers. The developer, Persimmon Homes, is one of the UK’s largest housebuilders; however, general online feedback indicates that build quality and customer service can be highly variable across sites. Potential buyers are strongly advised to conduct an independent home inspection (snagging survey) and to speak with existing residents at the development before committing to a purchase. Viewing arrangements and the latest plot availability should be sought directly from the Brampton Vale sales team.
