Erskine Gilchrist Gardens

Customer Care joiner was excellent (Andrew Galloway).He arrived a little early which was much appreciated and knew exactly what he was there to do. He carried out the work to a high standard very efficiently and was friendly to myself and my kids.My experience so far with all the trades coming to my house to fix issues has been a positive one so thank you.

2 years since we moved into Cala…

2 years since we moved into Cala Jordanhill300 plus snags, dangerous electrics which Cala refused to fix, had to pay for an electrician which took 3 days to make the house safe. We now have a report advising if we had a fire the house is a danger to life.You agreed to accept a RICS surveyor report but now refusing to go through the formal RICS dispute channels, We cannot waste another 2 years avoiding fixes that you are aware of (front door contractor sent by Cala said it needed replacing over a year ago and still not fixed!And how do you dispute IR images showing you failed to put insulation in the roof…. We had to pay an electrician to make our house safe this took 3 days work to make the house safe. Etc Etc Etc

Zero out of five, would not recommend

We reserved a plot at their Horsham, West Sussex location. Throughout the process they continuously harassed us for up dates. I’m unsure why, when each time they had already spoken to our solicitor so knew the latest status and that we didn’t have any extra info.We were days from exchange but on a Tuesday afternoon they told us the process had taken too long and therefore our plot would be remarketed if we didn’t exchange contracts by Wednesday lunchtime, giving us less than 24 hours notice. Whilst we were devastated about this, we understood their position and the delay was caused by our buyer so there was nothing we could do. By Wednesday lunchtime we had not exchanged contracts, but heard nothing from Cala Homes telling us the property was now up for sale again and the plot remained listed as “reserved” on their site. Wednesday evening, their solicitor sent through the documents to our solicitor ready for exchange & completion. Because of this, we fairly assumed they had been bluffing or had a change of heart. On Friday morning, just hours from exchange, they called me to gleefully tell me the plot had been sold to someone else. There were no options available to us other than to pay them more money to reserve a plot for the next model of house up. This left me 5 months pregnant and without a home. I appreciate they are a business and not a charity and their purpose is to make money. But that doesn’t mean they have to do it in such an unprofessional and unethical way. In the end, we purchased a bigger, beautiful home and happily paid an extra £50K to another developer. Save yourself the heartache and do not do business with these unprofessional, morally-bankrupt clowns.

Connor Campbell, first class Joiner, Cala Homes

Received a visit today from Connor Campbell, joiner, on behalf of Cala Homes, Jordanhill Service Team, to repair faulty door closing and handles throughout my apartment. He arrived promptly and carried out all the works as discussed with Cala. In addition, he was able to identify some other issues which he also kindly repaired. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable about how I might prevent any further issues arising and how I can resolve things once the 2 year Warranty is over. I am delighted with everything. He was also very clean and tidy and left my apartment spotless. Thank you Connor. You are a credit to Cala and your Trade.

I’m only giving 5* for the service I received from the sales staff, sales manager and onsite workers. I’d give less for customer care. My journey started with Lynsey and Fraz at the Erskine development and sometimes sales manager Victoria. They were informative and kept me calm through every process. We had a blip with the missives which Fraz and Lynsey sorted quickly with the site manager by working with my solicitor to get them completed in time. I can’t empathise how polite and great the onsite workers are. Very friendly and good to have a chat with. Especially their painter Pete. He was very informative and you can tell he loves his job. Thank you Lynsey and Fraz for making my experience outweigh some of the bad! They went above and beyond and are an asset to the company. I waited to review until our snags etc were complete. We had a few snags outstanding but we were happy to sort ourselves. Happy with the layout of the property and size:)

Excellent service by Eric, Marius and Alexandra!

Eric and Marius visited today to mend the cracks in our wall and repair our front door. We're impressed by the professional and efficient service they provided. They patiently explained the cause of the cracks, and thoroughly inspected the entire place. They fixed the major cracks first, so they could repair the other issues when the filler was drying. I appreciate the efficient plan and felt informed. They've certainly done a great job addressing major and minor issues at our home. Thank you Eric and Marius.Thank you to Alexandra too, for replying to our emails promptly and organising this detailed repair plan.

I would like to thank all at Cala…

I would like to thank all at Cala Homes, (Farrendon Fields) in particular I would like to thank Caroline in the Sales Office, awesome Customer Service, always so helpful and friendly and has helped me throughout the whole process- moving into my dream home, which was a breeze. I felt Caroline always went above and beyond - thank you Caroline. It really has meant a lot.We absolutely love our home and have had very few issues at all (especially as it is a new build property!) We had a few minor problems, within the first couple of weeks of moving in, Jack and Mario went above and beyond to make sure these issues were resolved as soon as possible, all works were completed to a very high standard, it was a pleasure having them around, both were polite and professional, we can’t thank them both enough for all the help. Overall a really good experience all round, and would highly recommend Cala to anyone looking to buy a new build property.
