About Persimmon

Sustainability at Persimmon

Sustainability is at the heart of our house-building process. As well as building sustainably, we enhance the biodiversity of our developments by planting trees and creating open spaces, gardens and allotments. 

Our homes are built to be more energy-efficient and sustainable, typically emitting around 61% less carbon each year than certain older UK homes. This reduces the environmental impact of your new home, as well as helping you to potentially save thousands of pounds on energy bills.

Our Eco Range homes fully embrace the future of eco-friendly homes. With a range of features designed to make them as sustainable as possible, our Eco Range will have a reduction of 31% in carbon emissions. Discover our Eco Range.

Solicitors, contracts and completions

Purchasing a new home involves legal processes you may be dealing with for the first time. We have a panel of independent solicitors who can help you should you so wish. Your solicitor can deal with all of this on your behalf when you instruct them to reserve your new build house. Read our guide to learn more about how this works.

Our community contributions

We’re committed to supporting the local infrastructure when we build in a new location. We contribute towards improving education opportunities, public transport and active travel, leisure and sports facilities, road infrastructure and many other areas that improve the quality of life for residents. So, when you’re purchasing from us, you can rest assured you’ll be moving into community that will thrive.

Supporting you on your buying journey

We’re here for you at every step of your home buying journey. You can always contact us if you have any questions, but we’ve compiled the information you’ll need in one handy guide that you can refer to at each stage of the process.
