Pressure is about to return to Persimmon, with a television investigation set to reveal more concerns about the quality of its properties and customer service.
Britain’s New Build Scandal, to be aired tonight on Channel 4 as part of its Dispatches series, will feature an inspection of a new Persimmon home that found 295 faults, 70 per cent of which were so serious that they violated building regulations, including a fire door that did not close, leaking sinks, unsealed showers and faulty waste connections.
