Persimmon seeks to rebuild trust through fee 'retention' planPersimmon says it wants to be a force for change in the industry through a greater commitment to customer satisfaction. The poor build quality and lack of customer support is exactly why we walked away from a house just a week before taking ownership. I had zero faith in them to correct some major things before we moved in let alone afterwards. Dodgy builder. Try paying your contractors fair rates so we don't get shoddy houses that fall apart - and your contractors using apprentices and firing experienced workers, and skimping on materials so they use stuff they wouldn't build their own houses with. Building nice houses with no shortcuts and bad workmanship would be a good start.

Persimmon homebuyers can withhold money until faults fixedContracts will state that 1.5% of property value can be held back until problems resolved I think all new house owners should do the same. Once builders leave, it is very difficult to get them back to fix problems. Important to note NHBC are hopeless and their Certificate is worthless. Run an article on the NHBC. That would be eye opening. I wouldn't buy one of their homes. For the money they're asking you can get a solid double brick house cheaper.
