Persimmon is one of the UK's largest residential property developers by revenue and dwelling completions, marketing homes under its three brands: Persimmon Homes, Charles Church, and Westbury Partnerships. Persimmon distinguishes itself from peers by operating in the lower-priced segment of the new-build market; Persimmon Homes' average selling price in 2024 was 20% below the UK new-build national average. Like peers, Persimmon has traditionally operated in the land development, construction, and sales and marketing segments of the residential property development value chain. However, unlike peers, in recent years, Persimmon has begun manufacturing its own bricks, tiles, and timber frames, aiming to secure the supply and quality of key materials and manage build cost inflation.
