Practical Information

Persimmon Homes, one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, holds a 5-star status from the Home Builders' Federation (HBF) based on over 90% of customers stating they would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should be aware that the developer operates in a competitive pricing market, and past general reviews have highlighted site-specific variations in build quality and aftercare; therefore, thorough pre-completion checks (snagging) are advised, and specific site quality reports should be sought. The Marketing Suite is currently open on Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 11am to 6pm, and viewings can be arranged by contacting the development directly. Availability and exact plot completion dates are subject to change; contact the Maes Y Rhos sales team for the latest inventory and confirmed handover timelines.
