They say: "Persimmon is the UK's leading house builder. We
aim to provide the highest levels of design, construction and service;
so however you live your life, you'll feel more at home with Persimmon."

Ask any customer from a certain development named after one of the directors wifes about quality!!!

What a shame the Construction Directors keep changing like the wind.
That's why quality changes too. Be very careful when buying.

A company committed to quality now,
through the assignment of a new build director Mr Andy Barrett. This
company is showing a willingness to want to change the quality of new
build. In doing so they have asked Survey Homes 2000 to help by
inspecting their homes. This is an obvious selling advantage to the
company, as the customer is sold a virtually fault-free home.

Further to our previous report dated 04/09/2002,
you may have seen the media interest in this company and Survey Homes
continuing involvement (See News page for more). It seems that the
build quality is the same throughout the country but, in defence of
Persimmon, they are still resolving the defects brought to their
attention. This is an excellent example of a developer who needs to
improve their quality control procedures. We advise you take care when
buying.

The homes that were inspected did have numerous
faults but mostly attention to detail. When the company was asked
"Would you resolve the concerns" they replied: "As long as the faults
are justified". The reports have been sent and sources tell me that the
company are resolving the remedial work. Survey Homes 2000 asked the
company if they could inspect free of charge a Build Complete House
before the customer moved in, the company declined our offer and
explained that the house is inspected five times by competent
inspectors, although it would appear this is not so in these cases.
