Our first home experience

All Cala colleagues at Jocelyn Gardens have been absolutely outstanding with us while buying our first home! They have been extremely understanding, flexible and have went totally above and beyond every step of the way. Although the demands on all colleagues there are extremely high, they’ve made us feel like we’re the only clients they have- a wonderful experience from start to finish. From a company perspective, I would also comment that the quality of the homes, upgrade options and standard offerings are exceptional.

discrimination

All I have to say is discrimination to social housing made to feel so little just because you live in social housing and the people on site look at you and speak to you like you are worthless and every time you tell carla this it'd ignored just because I live in a social housing doesn't make them better than me at least I was taught to respect all sorts of people and not judge carla must have there own hand book in discrimination they don't even want to fix anything even when your property is in warranty its disgusting the way they treat people I told one lady who works for them about the people on site and she turnt round and said just ignore them how the earth can you ignore people that are working on your door step I don't know. the right answer would of been ok I will talk to the site manager and get them to have a word clearly all they care about is money πŸ’° it makes you feel so worthless think all the staff need training in discrimination

This company ripped us off when they sold us the property back in 2009. They charged us Β£33k more than a similar property next door which was sold at the same time. Avoid them at all costs. Do not buy from this company. If I could have given them a zero star I would have done.

Constant battle.

Moved into my property in august 2020 but told CALA that I was unhappy with the garden do to it being cut a week before we moved in and being just being left ontop. When we got the keys to the property it was still lying there. Due to this our grass was completely ruined. Cala reassured me this would be sorted. I have been fighting the battle for 19 months now to get it sorted. It was agreed that this would be re turfed due to us spending a lot of money trying to rectify there problem whilst we awaited someone to come out. Cala have now told us this will only be soiled and fed. This was not the agreement! On top of this I know three houses on our road which have had there grass completely relaid. I would like to add several has had there’s relaid and one was even out of end of defect!!The response I have had is disgusting and I am still fighting a loosing battle!

Cala Homes is lying, deceitful rogue trader

Cala Homes is a rogue trader that has developed a truly slick sales process that fools everyone into believing that Cala Homes is a reputable company. Once you've bought a house, you realise how poorly constructed it is, and worse, that Cala Homes simply don't care about customers once they've got your money. They completely ignore emails and phone calls of reported faults, the trades they send in damage your property and Cala refuse to repair the damage. 18 months after buying our Cala home we have seen through all of the lies, the deception and the shoddy workmanship and would NEVER EVER recommend Cala Homes to anyone, unless you want a miserable experience.UPDATE: 19 April 2022.So the reply below is typical of Cala Homes. Despite the complete shambles, never answering emails or phone calls, their reply implies that they are actually working to resolve the issues when they are doing absolutely nothing and still haven't acknowledged my texts or replied to many emails.The other shocking issue that has been made apparent is that, once you buy a Cala Home, that you now have to accept the (many, many) trades people who are sent into your home AT YOUR OWN RISK. Cala Homes declared to us last week that it is the responsibility of the home owner to pay for repairs of any damage that the trades people cause to your property when they are carrying out work instructed by Cala Homes. This is a change of policy since previously Cala Homes were more than happy to repair any damaged items. I do actually suspect that Cala Homes has issued this statement without due legal consideration. However this new declaration by Cala Homes has left us with a wrecked garden chair that cost us Β£250 which they have refused to replace since 'there is no evidence that the tradespeople caused the damage'. So by this logic, the only way you will ever get your possessions repaired is if you had photographic, dated evidence of every single possession you ever owned. Utterly ridiculous.This is why I state again that Cala Homes is a rogue trader.
