Developer Track Record: Persimmon Homes operates nationally and holds a 5-star builder status from the Home Builder's Federation (HBF) based on the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey, where over 9 out of 10 customers surveyed stated they would recommend the developer. However, prospective buyers should note that the company has faced historical and separate public criticism regarding build quality on some developments, including a 2019 independent review that cited issues with minimum construction standards and missing fire cavity barriers nationwide. Interested parties are advised to investigate site-specific reviews and quality control measures.
