I have bought a Persimmon home and am due to complete in the next few weeks.
The external fencing has been removed so we have been able to get closer to the house. Unfortunately the standards in my opinion are really poor! It has just passed its Final NHBC checks which I don't personally think it should have. However NHBC won't give me a simple answer of "yes or no".
At this point I am refusing to complete on the house until the issues are fixed.
I originally had missing bricks which I told them I wanted replacing and not patched up. After 6 weeks they finally sorted them (by patching them). After discussing the quality of the brickwork/cementing I was told "they had crappy builders, but they've been fired now". "this helps me!"
I have missing weep holes inserts all over the house, cracked bricks. Bricks caked in cement (I've been told it's already been cleaned and won't be cleaned again).
What are your thoughts on the quality of the brickwork and cementing? Am I right in what I'm thinking or is this something many of you have experienced? and they have resolved.
