Hello everyone.
I just wanted to mention the topic Japanese knotweed as we wanted to buy house from Persimmon homes. We did all the searches, paid fees, deposit and then did not proceed as they failed to provide certificate of eradication bank requested.
So it was better to paid abortive purchase fees and put the matter to small claims court as they refused to pay deposit back. After the court issued notice they did. But still search fees and abortive purchase fees have not been recovered.
It was lucky escape not to buy the house from Persimmon. Such rude customer service together with replies from the company the like of which I have never experienced before. No wonder they do earn so much including CEO if they steal money from everybody they sell their houses to.
I do apologise maybe there are some happy buyers out there, but I feel there are more unhappy customers.
