Persimmon Homes

Persimmon Homes, one of the UK's largest new home builders

Persimmon Homes presents itself as one of the UK's largest new home builders, operating in England, Wales and Scotland. Its catalogue ranges from one- and two-bedroom apartments and houses to three-, four- and five-bedroom family homes, with new-build styles marketed under the R21 name. The company operates through regional offices and a network of developments across the UK.

House types and developments

The offer is organised by number of bedrooms: one- and two-bedroom homes, three-bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom. The company describes these models as solutions for both first-time buyers and families looking for more space. Developments are grouped by regions and counties, and the website allows you to browse the list of developments by geographic area.

Ways to buy and financial help

Persimmon offers several schemes to make buying a new home easier:

• New Build Boost: a mortgage option from Gen H that, according to the company, provides a 15% interest-free boost if the buyer has saved a 5% deposit.
• Deposit Boost: a 5% contribution to the buyer's deposit, which is added to the 10% they contribute, helping them secure a mortgage with more competitive terms.
• Part Exchange: the company buys the customer's current home so they can move into a new house without estate agent fees, without chain delays and without last-minute fall-throughs.

Buyer guides

The website includes four guides aimed at different profiles: first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers and investors. These guides support users through the buying, selling and moving stages.

Personalisation and finishes

The company offers the option to add personalised finishes to the home, an option presented under the name Finishing Touches, allowing the interior to be adapted to the buyer's taste.

Community commitment and sponsorships

Persimmon runs the Community Champions programme, launched in 2015, which has donated more than £3 million to over 3,500 good causes across Great Britain. According to the company's information, each regional office makes quarterly donations of up to £6,000 to local organisations while the programme is running. The company is also an official partner of Team GB and plans to be present at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, with athlete appearances, competitions and challenges.

Awards and ratings

The company highlights its 5-star builder status awarded by the National Home Builders Federation (HBF). It also mentions the 'Excellent' rating received on Trustpilot from buyers of its homes.
