Your first few days
You’ve got the keys, and you're now living in your new home. And in the first few weeks and months, we’ll be on hand to ensure everything lives up to your expectations – and surpasses our own. Read on to learn more about the key steps we take to support you in your new home journey.
You're officially in...
A few days after legally completing your purchase and the excitement of moving day, a member of our team will contact you to ensure you're happy and well looked after. This is the perfect chance to ask any questions, so it’s worth spending time getting to know each room in your home.
Post occupation inspection
Between 7 and 28 days after completion, your site manager will meet you at your new home to complete your post-occupation inspection.
During the inspection, your site manager will review any issues you have found since moving in and record these on our system. Your site team will then be in touch to ensure these issues are commenced within 15 working days, in line with the Persimmon Pledge.
