Buying made simple with Persimmon

We all recognise that purchasing a new home can be one of the most stressful things we have to entertain, which is why the team at Persimmon Homes South Midlands goes out of their way to ensure that buying one of their brand new homes is as simple and stress free as possible.

“Our sales advisers receive ongoing training in a variety of areas of the housebuilding industry, enabling them to assist househunters and subsequent purchasers with all their requirements,” states Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands.

At the company’s Kingsway development in Gloucester new residents are singing Persimmon’s praises from the roof tops, as they have all been more than impressed not only with their chosen housetype and the development, but the overall customer service they’ve received.

Lisa Watts and her husband Mark moved into their four bedroom traditional two storey Anvil housetype in February this year. Lisa states: “We had been looking for a brand new home for a number of months and just couldn’t find anything we really liked. That was until we visited Persimmon’s Kingsway development.

“We fell in love with homes instantly, plus the attention we received during the purchase of our new home and the subsequent customer service we received after we bought was second to none.”

Mark adds: “Persimmon offered us a range of incentives to help make our move as smooth as possible, which included the company’s Assisted Move incentive to help us sell our old property.”

Alison Reading explains the Assisted Move initiative: “We aim to help househunters find and appoint an independent estate agent, and also advise them on the valuations and what price to market their property at. We then reserve the purchaser’s chosen property while their existing one is sold. What’s more we’ll also pay the estate agent’s, making the process that much more cost effective.”

Lisa continues: “Using the company’s Assisted Move scheme removed a lot of the worry and hassle we were expecting when selling our old home. The sales team at Persimmon dealt with the estate agents and even paid their fees, which mean it was far more affordable than we first thought too.”

In addition to the Assisted Move scheme, Lisa and Mark took advantage of Persimmon’s executive removal package.

Mark adds: “The team carefully packed our goods at our old house, and even unpacked them in our brand new home, it really did make the move day a simple operation for us.

“Even though buying a new home is an in depth and often complicated process, it was made straightforward and effortless by the sales advisers we dealt with, we really couldn’t ask for more from Persimmon.”

Currently on offer at Kingsway is a range of two, three, three/four, four and four/five bedroom homes in a number of differing styles. Prices at the development start from just £114,097 through the company’s inclusion in the Government-led 70 per cent HomeBuy Direct shared equity scheme.

Alison concludes: “At Persimmon we not only take great pride in offering desirable homes in sought-after locations, but we also boast high standards of service for all our customers.

“If you’re in the market for a brand new home, but are daunted by the process involved, why not visit one of our developments and see how simplistic the process can be.”
