Attention to detail

From design and planning, right through to adding the final Finishing Touches to your stylish new home, we keep your needs in mind, ensuring we create homes to suit all lifestyles. From the moment you reserve your new Persimmon home, we do our very best to make the experience enjoyable and informative every step of the way, not just while you're buying, but after you've moved in too.

Delivering on Sustainability

As one of the UK’s leading house builders we understand we have a responsibility to minimise our impact on the environment. It’s a responsibility we take very seriously, which is why we build our homes with a range of energy-efficient features to promote economical and sustainable living. We also design our developments in keeping with the character of the area and work closely with ecologists to protect the landscape and biodiversity. And that’s really just the beginning.

Built with you in mind

However you live your life, there's a Persimmon home to suit you, from stylish apartments to detached family homes and everything in between. Affordable but no less desirable, Persimmon is also committed to creating homes to be proud of for first-time buyers. We're here to help you get the home you really want and have a range of schemes to help you on your way. In 2019, 50% of our private sales were to first time buyers.
