Here’s what one of our customers had to say about buying at The Hawthorns:
"Well that was simple! We have just bought our first home through Persimmon. Every step of the way they were wonderful and still remain so. Something that can be an incredibly stressful thing (moving house) was made incredibly simply. Great recommendations by the team on solicitors and a really fast and efficient process from start to finish. I strongly recommend them."
