I was very impressed with the unhurried and informative discussion I had. All my questions were answered and it was good to get a quick appointment to view. I had a great conversation and would happily recommend Cala homes.

Extremely helpful and caring Sales Team
First started looking for a place in February 2026, found a lovely detached we liked. Spoke to the sales team who consisted of Shyla, Emily & Michelle - all 3 in their own right were more than happy to accommodate extra viewings when it worked for us.
Hello, Thank you for leaving your lovely review about your experience with our team. It's great to see this type of feedback. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala

From Confidence to Frustration: A CALA Experience - High Expectations Set, Low Standards Delivered
Our experience with CALA can be summarised as a severe contrast between an impressive, highly engaging sales process and a deeply disappointing post-sale reality.
Hi Ak, We’re sorry to hear about your feedback. Our team is committed to resolving this with you, and we understand our Customer Service team is already in touch to arrange any outstanding works in line with your warranty. Many thanks, Cala

A great buying and owning experience
From start to finish, the Cala team have been helpful and the buying and owning experience has largely been excellent. The most important thing for me is that they respond, are prepared to escalate matters if they are not being addressed and get the job done. Sheree has been especially helpful, and has been pivotal in arranging the post handover snags to be addressed. The home itself is beautiful!. Thank you. Bhavesh
Hello Bhavesh, Thank you for leaving your review. It's great to hear about your great experience with our team. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala

Cala homes' painter, George Fisher
Cala homes' painter, George Fisher is truly a professional. We had some wall surface flaking issue and he responded promptly. 3 layers of coating to each of damaged areas and 2 layers of painting after sanding. The job was well organised, clean and tidy, perhaps the neatest work I have ever seen. Well done! George.
Hello Canghu, Thank you for leaving your review. It's great to hear about your great experience with our team. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala

Repeated Delays and Unacceptable Handling
I reserved a house last summer in Belwood Oak and throughout this period Cala has revised the completion date on four separate occasions.

Cala do not address customer’s concerns
Further to my recent review and Cala’s response yesterday. Cala replied about the replacement door. However, my review was not about the door. It was concerning Cala’s failure to address the points I raised in my formal complaint and their inability to follow their own complaints procedure. This is a recurrent feature of my correspondence with Customer Care over the past two years. They ignore the customers main complaint and do not answer the points raised in emails. Another example of Cala Customer Care’s total disregard for their customers.
Hello Eric, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way and have noted your comments internally. Please be assured that our Customer Service team will continue to work with you to resolve any issues. Kind regards, Cala

Cedar Brae- Laurence & Sarah
From the first contact with the team at Cedar Brae, Laurence and Sarah, we were made to feel like we were in safe hands. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating with us, especially being first time buyers and the stress and worries that come with that. Throughout the process from first viewing all the way to completion we were kept up to date with progress of our home and were made to feel like we were never a burden when we had questions. Laurence and Sarah’s warm presence and genuine care for their clients made our whole experience exciting and memorable. Even after moving into our home, they still check in to see if we need anything from them or Cala. Thank you guys so much!
Hello Jordan, Thank you for leaving your review. It's great to hear about your great experience with the team at Cedar Brae. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala

Cornhill Village Nightmare
We moved into our new Cala home at Cornhill Village in June 2025. Nearly a year on, we have logged 96 defects. We understand that in new builds some issues arise but what is not acceptable is being lied to and ignored.
Hello Pamela, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We understand that our regional team has been in touch and will continue working with you to address your concerns and reach a suitable resolution. Kind regards, Cala

Efficient and high quality rectification work
Andy Galloway came in to sort out my joinery work this morning and was a gentleman from start to finish. He turned up on time, was very personable and worked swiftly through my list of items to rectify. He obviously takes pride in his work and even sorted things I would never have known to get fixed! He is a credit to Cala and further complements my overall great experience I have had throughout my home buying/living experience with Cala.
Hello Ali, Thank you for leaving your review. It's great to hear about your great experience with Andy. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala

Thanks to customer services / painters
Thanks to customer services the personnel have a tough job dealing with so many issues & probably some frustrated customers. Also to a couple of Cala painters Neal & George a credit to the company who after meeting would leave with keys do whatever job in my house knowing I'm safe.
Hello Bobby, Thank you for leaving your review. It's great to hear about your great experience with Neal and George. Wishing you all the best in your new home. Many Thanks, Cala
