TrustpilotHappy with our new Charles Church home!
The service we’ve experienced with Charles Church has been great and we are very happy with our new home. Briana (sales advisor) updated and supported us up to completion which made us feel at ease. Joe (site manager) was really attentive to our needs and proactive in rectifying the initial inspection form list and would periodically check in to see if all was well.

TrustpilotRachael at Parklands, Hessle
We made a reservation with Charles Church in the late spring. We have been looked after by a number of different sales advisors during this time. Rachael, who is currently at the Hessle site, has been fantastic from the minute we met her. Her professional yet personal approach has made us feel so supported throughout the process. She accommodates any queries we have and her excellent communication skills have relieved what could have been an extremely stressful time. We are so grateful for Rachael’s support throughout the process and cannot thank her enough! A true gem in the company.

Got the keys last Thursday 29th August, so far they have been brilliant, Site foreman sent one of his men to my property this morning, to see if I had found any issues, I only had a couple of minor issues, they where all rectified within a couple of hours. Absolutely great delighted with the house. Could not recommend enough.

TrustpilotHarlands Park
After visiting several new build sites and leaving a little bewildered and confused about the process of buying a new house we made an appointment with Francesca in sales at Harlands Park in Uckfield. She was great at explaining the process and very patient with the questions we had regarding this. She has been really helpful from the outset and can’t thank her enough.Steve the site manager and his team are great too and very reassuring with the pride they take in their work. The weekly photos sent by Darren updating you on the process of the build are a nice touch and we can’t wait to move into our lovely new home

M · 3 May 2026
Agent replied · 6 June 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your openness in outlining both the challenges experienced following completion and the positive impact of the support you later received.
We recognise that completing just before the Christmas period can present additional challenges, and we regret that the progress of outstanding snagging items did not initially meet the standard you reasonably expected. We also acknowledge your comments regarding the disruption caused by staff availability during that time.
We are pleased to hear that Mark Adams was able to subsequently step in, oversee the process diligently, and work through the outstanding issues with you. Your recognition of Mark’s professionalism and dedication is very much appreciated, and your comments will be shared with him and the wider team.
Thank you again for your feedback. It is invaluable in helping us improve our service, and we are grateful for the opportunity to address concerns and provide the level of support our customers expect.

TrustpilotWonderful experience at Harlands Park, Uckfield
My partner and I are in the process of buying our new home at Harlands Park in Uckfield with Charles Church and we’ve been so impressed with the how smoothly everything has gone and how amazing all the people we’ve come into contact with are; from Francesca in the Sales Office who has been so helpful and supportive, to the wonderful Site Manager, Steve and Steven Andre in his team, to Darren who is sending us weekly progress updates and photographs. We couldn’t recommend the team or the site more and we can’t wait to be in our beautiful new home soon!

We have lived in the Edmond Park Development in Frome for 4 years and I am still looking out of my front door onto gravel and mud. The pavements outside of my are a health and safety hazard. We were told that the works were going to be completed soon but we still have to struggle along the pavement which has pot holes is uneven. Gravel is coming into my house daily. I am elderly and my husband has dementia. I did not except this when I purchased my home 4.3 years ago.

TrustpilotTurning a top quality house into our warm and inviting home.
We are so happy with our new Charles Church house in the Harlands Park development! It is everything we could have ever wanted and more. The high-quality finish is evident throughout the house, from the sturdy construction to the beautiful finishes. We love the open-concept kitchen/dining room, the large garden, the well-lit central staircase and the four bedrooms with plenty of storage space.During the first five weeks, we have been working hard to make our new home a warm and inviting place to live in. We furnished it in a style that reflects our personalities and interests and filled it with our favourite things. We love spending time in our new home, and we can't wait to make many more memories here.The landscaping and planting that Charles Church include throughout this development are quite exceptional. We have planted some flowering shrubs and a few trees of our own in our garden and look forward to seeing them flourish over time. We enjoy spending time in our outdoor space, cooking on the BBQ, and relaxing. The location is perfect as we are close to everything we need, but we are also in a quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful rural setting. Every member of the Charles Church team we have met has been friendly and helpful. They take great pride in delivering the best possible homes and the neighbours we have met all seem very happy to be living here too.We are so grateful for our new home. It is a place where we can relax, unwind, and create lasting memories. We love it!

While all new builds have issues, I for one have had very few, and those I have had have been fixed promptly and without needing constant nagging. The sales staff where extremely helpful (Russel, Tom and Holly) and once we moved in, TOM N, on site has been really great at getting our snags fixed both quickly and without fuss. Its people like these that make buying a new house a pleasure. Also, a thank you to Craig for keeping everyone honest and checking with me that things had been done.

TrustpilotDon't be in a rush to get issues sorted ...
We bought a house with Charles Church in August 2022. We have had a quite a few issues with the house, some relatively important (such as lack of ventilation in the loft due to poor construction of the roof) and some more minors. Although issues are to be expected with a new house, one aspect that has been consistently disappointing is the time it takes for Charles Church/Persimmon to address them once they are reported. Our garden has major drainage issues, which were reported back in January/February. We only had an inspection in April, and this issue is still not addressed, our garden is pretty much a mud pit. The garden will need to be overturned for the drainage to be fixed, which means that with the resting time needed once the new lawn has been laid, we probably won't be able to enjoy our garden this summer (so a whole year without being able to enjoy our garden). Our loft, which was so poorly ventilated that we got water leaks during the winter, is still not fully fixed, and we have been living with stains on the celling since December. There are many things we like about the house, but it's been a drain to engage with CC/Persimmon. It feels at time they are reluctant to find a fast and satisfactory solution, and any issue will require multiple visits (each one requiring a day blocked waiting at home). Some of the staff are helpful, but we clearly feel that a peaceful enjoyment of our house is not a priority at all for CC/Persimmon.
