The new build properties at Scarlett Mews are delivered by Persimmon Homes. Prospective buyers are advised that while the company is a high-volume national housebuilder, its track record is mixed, with some historical reports of variable build quality and customer service. As build quality can vary significantly by specific development, potential homeowners are encouraged to seek independent professional inspection services and consult with current residents on the estate to inform their purchasing decision.
