Persimmon is one of the most complained about house builders having been featured on BBC Watchdog more than once! They now only win a handful of NHBC Quality Awards (just 8 in 2014, 6 in 2015 and 7 in 2016) and have been rated just 3 stars by their own customers in the HBF New Home Customer Satisfaction Survey results for three years running! Persimmon were rated 3 stars or less by their own customers in the HBF Customer Satisfaction Survey  8 times in the last 12 years!  

Our advice: Do not buy a Persimmon/Charles Church home!



History

Persimmon was created by Duncan Davidson in 1972, building houses in Yorkshire before expanding nationwide. Persimmon grew rapidly in the 80’s and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1985. The business consists of three main brands, Persimmon Homes, Charles Church and Westbury Partnerships.


The Persimmon Homes business is the main operation. According to Persimmon "building quality homes which provide the very best in design, construction and service. The wide range of property types includes three, four and five-bed detached properties; two and three-bed terraced and semi-detached houses; bungalows and apartments".







Charles Church, described by Persimmon as "one of the country’s foremost house building brands with unrivalled reputation for the design and quality of the homes it builds." The Charles Church brand provides "a range of premium homes in both modern and traditional styles".


The Westbury Partnerships business focuses on social housing by working closely with Housing Associations to help identify solutions of affordable housing problem. This provides an outlet for their timber frame manufacturing operation - space4.


Current Interim CEO David Jenkinson was appointed when Jeff Fairburn was sacked because he had become a "distraction to the business"  over his £75 million bonus award. He had taken over from Mike Farley in 2013. Farley himself taking over from retiring John White in 2006. In 2012 Farley's total pay was £1.9 million. He also owned 1,147,753 shares in the company that were worth £8,837,700 in September 2012 (770p).


Who Persimmon acquired and how they grew

In January 2006, the company bought Westbury Plc, which itself had previously taken over Prowting Homes. Other take over acquisitions include the Beazer Group in March 2001 and the Ideal Homes group of companies in February 1996.
