What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Woodside, Aberdeen, is home to this Cala Homes residential development, which buyers describe in connection with its houses and apartments. The sales team earns consistent praise, with purchasers highlighting how friendly and supportive they were during viewings and the buying process. A theme that emerges is the company's readiness to return after completion, with visits arranged close to the end of the warranty period and a number of reasonable requests agreed and attended to.

Reviewers also remark on how the scheme has taken shape over time, describing it as an appealing place to live and a development worth seeing. Praise for the standard of finish recurs, with the appearance of the completed properties noted as a strength. Several accounts refer to the cost of the homes, finding them expensive or somewhat overpriced, which is presented as a reflection on the market rather than on the work itself. The scheme's setting and the friendly assistance provided by the sales staff are recurring points, alongside the responsive approach to post-completion issues.

Lovely place to live. The sales team were great and are very friendly when you are looking for / purchasing your home. CALA did come around and carry out a visit at our home upon request near the end of our 2 year warranty period - and agreed to fix most reasonable requests. They did make tracking the progress of the issues as difficult as possible and it wasn't the easiest getitng them to agree on a date. They only have one painter and joiner, so you can be waiting over 6 months, only for them to conveniently forget to schedule the scaffolding. Getting anything in writing from them can also be a pain. I get the impression they try to do everything verbally in person or on the phone so there is no way to ducument what was said. I recommend taking your own notes and sending it to them. Overall the CALA Customer service aftercare is not the best. Many emails can be left unresolved for weeks and takes a lot of chasing. They will see to the serious issues at least, but will always try to come up with any excuse why something could be classed outwith the warranty to avoid accepting fault. But in the grand scheme of things, we are very happy with our home and it is a good place to live.
