Persimmon Pledge
We believe house buying should be straightforward and exciting, that’s why we created The Persimmon Pledge. Including our Persimmon warranty, we guarantee that you’ll receive exceptional customer service and communication before, during and after moving in.
From your reservation appointment to your New Homes 10 year warranty, the team at Persimmon Homes guarantee be with you every step of the way. Read on, to learn more about your journey to new build ownership and what makes up the Persimmon Pledge.
Before you pick up the keys
From the moment you reserve your new Persimmon home, we pledge to make the experience enjoyable and informative each step of the way.
All our employees are trained to provide a high level of customer service, and to deliver our comprehensive pre-move and after-sales pledge.
Reservation agreement
At the pre-reservation stage, you’ll be shown the location, plus, all the exciting and essential details of your chosen home.
Once you’re happy, the reservation agreement will set out the key terms of your home purchase. Including the reservation period, purchase price and other important information.
Your points of contact
We’ll also inform you of your main points of contact – who will assist you with information during your reservation, your moving-in experience and beyond.
You’ll be kept informed of the progress of your new home regularly, and our sales advisors will also respond quickly and efficiently to any queries you may have.
The Home Masterfile
When you reserve your home, you will receive a copy of your home’s Masterfile. This is a reference guide to assist you through the different stages of your purchase, and after you have moved in.
Quality assured
Your home will be built according to the most up-to-date and relevant planning and building regulations. And all stages of the construction of your home will be inspected by us.
On completion day, we will provide you with a quality-assured certificate for you to keep as part of your home Masterfile.
Specification
As a national housebuilder, we take a local approach to building new homes. This means we consider the development’s location, and will provide you with the local specifications and explain the choice of external materials, such as brick colour and roof tiles etc.
Want to customise your new home?
An exciting range of options is available to buy from our Finishing Touches range.

We always welcome you and your family to our developments, and depending on the build stage, allow you to view your home during construction. However, building sites can be dangerous places, therefore we ask that you make an appointment – to ensure your health and safety during the visit.
When visiting, please take the advice of our site teams at all times. And also refer to your home Masterfile for simple health and safety rules that will keep you and your family safe.
Estimated build completion
When your home is reserved, we’ll provide you with an estimated build completion date.
You’ll also be kept informed of progress during construction, and should there be a delay for reasons outside of our control, for example, inclement weather - we will notify you of your revised build completion date.
Pre-completion inspection
Before completion, your sales advisor will be in touch to give you the opportunity to inspect your new home. This inspection will normally take place nine days before completion.
New home demonstration
Ahead of your moving in date, a member of our team will show you your new home and demonstrate the fixtures, systems and appliances. Ensuring that you are happy and familiar with how everything works.
After you pick up the keys
Post-occupation Inspection
Between 7 to 28 days after completion, your site manager will meet you at your new home to complete your Post-occupation Inspection.
During the inspection, your site manager will review any issues that you have found since moving in and record these on our system. Your site team will then be in touch to ensure that these issues are commenced within 15 working days in line with the Persimmon Pledge.
Monday Night Clinic
While our sales office remains on the development, we hold an informal clinic every Monday dedicated to offering you extra help and assistance during and after the purchase of your new home.
Our clinic is open from 5.00pm to 6.00pm in our sales office, and members of the development team will be available to discuss any questions you may have.
Dedicated customer care appointments
Should you need assistance from our customer care team, we have dedicated time put aside so you can book an appointment at a time to suit you. These appointments are available between 7.30am and 7.00pm on weekdays and between 8.00am and 4.00pm on Saturdays.
And during normal office opening hours, you may use our dedicated customer care helpline.
Courtesy call
In your first few days, after legally completing your purchase and moving into your new home, a member of our team will make contact with you to ensure that all is well.
Full emergency cover hotline
Our customer hotline is available for you to call outside of working hours (and on bank holidays).
So that in the unlikely event of an emergency, such as a complete loss of electricity, gas, water or drainage to your new home, assistance is available – and you can reach them on 03330 156620.
