David gave us his sole attention

David gave us his sole attention. He explained everything about the location of the new homes and took us through every aspect of the home we are interested in, even showing us accessories and tiles. He listened to our needs and made us feel heard. This is a dream home for us and David helped us so much.

Neal Young - Decorator

Neal provided a brilliant service from start to finish. He was extremely thorough, hardworking, and efficient, completing the job to a very high standard. The preparation was meticulous, and the final finish is excellent.

He worked consistently and kept everything tidy and organised, which made the process stress-free. On top of that, he was friendly and professional. I’m really pleased with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work done properly.

Plot 237, Noble park. Excellent customer service presale (particularly Sebastian) and post sale, with exceptional aftercare by the team at Cala Homes, particularly Simon Bannister, Ahmed and Abby. A few snags could perhaps have been avoided during construction, nonetheless the aftercare provided is exceptional. Would definitely recommend.

About George Fisher

Cala sends efficient people most of the time once they get their act together but it may be lost in emails and we have to start all over again. Recently, we had a painter George Fisher to do some paint work and he has been before also. He does the job well and a thorough professional. Very funny too the five stars are mainly for him .

Excellent Support at Aurs Meadows

I had a great experience with Cala Homes while enquiring about the Aurs Meadows development. The sales representative, Lizi Hanlon, truly listened to my needs and analysed them carefully before guiding me through the available options. She answered all my questions clearly and promptly, making the whole process much easier to understand. Her professional, supportive, and reassuring approach made a real difference. Thank you!

Julie from customer services NHC is fantastic!

We recently liaised with Julie from customer services (NHC) regarding some documentation required for the sale of our Cala home. This came about at a particularly stressful part of our house sale process (close to exchange) and Julie was absolutely brilliant. She listened to our requests and concerns, escalated and dealt with these in a timely manner and took care to keep us informed, which left us feeling reassured that our request would be dealt with. Julie is a fantastic asset to Cala homes. Thank you!

First time buyers

As first time buyers, my partner and I could not have had a better experience from all the staff at Cala, Lathallan Grange. Astrid was so lovely, welcoming and talked through everything we needed to know for moving forward with the sale. The service was thorough yet personal, increasing our confidence with buying our first property. We would both highly recommend their services to others!

Buying our first home at Knightwood Chase

We bought our first home at Knightwood Chase in Fordingbridge 3 months ago and have had an excellent experience with the whole team. The sales team (Beckie and Jo) are wonderful, very welcoming and competent. They made the whole reservation process and selection of optional upgrades very straightforward. They also kept us updated with photos and videos while our house was being built, which we really appreciated.

Both before and after the sale, the site managers (Ian, Miles and David) were also very present and supportive. Julia, the customer service manager for Cala Southern, was also extremely competent and responsive when dealing with our snagging list, ensuring that everything was addressed and that we were completely happy with our new home.

The layout of the whole development is very well planned and done with care, with lots of green spaces. Overall, we are very happy with our new build and the service from Cala.
