Useful video - a member of our family is looking at a 2 year old Persimmon starter home. A tip on keeping the heat out in the summer. Good insulation should definitely help to keep the heat out during the day, but holds it in overnight. So in a heat wave it's best to close the windows and blinds from mid morning, especially on the sunny side of the house, then open the windows wide early evening and overnight
I think we probably lost about £5k give or take. The house was independently valued by two estate agents and then their valuation was passed onto persimmon. Personally i think we could have gotten a tiny bit more selling private but the ease of part exchange and saving on estate agent fees made it worth it for us. Hope this helps!
@larnarussell Yes I agree it would take some of the pressure away. £5K isn't that much on the house sale scale. You can easily lose that trying to outbid another buyer on a normal process of buying. Thanks 😊

this is a very useful tip! we've got fitted shutters which massively help but it does still get very warm. thanks for watching :) x
Thanks for sharing.
No worries!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you feel like your part exchange valuation for your old house was fair ?

another positive for us that made it worth it was persimmon weren’t in a chain as ‘buyers’ so everything was more of a sure thing x
Your rooms are nicely decorated 😊
thank you! we’ve still got a long way to go but we do love our home ☺️
