CALA Homes

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Really nice location with a great park for the kids, and Coop shop and a brand new pub built within the estate too.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Our ring doorbell wasn’t linked due to a new lock being fitted prior to move in (which was just one of those things and not an issue).

What is the best feature of your home:

It is a stunning family home top to bottom with plenty of space in a great location

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

They also said there would be a pub. Now they have said it would be there. Just low level construction with false promises

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

They just put blame on each other. From one department to other

What is the best feature of your home:

Ground floor flat disabled access. Which it is not. Blame went to ukrain asylums coming into the country.

I love the area however I do wish that the short cut route to the station would be opened up sooner as this is quite key for residents. I also think the sales office (which will eventually be a community centre) could have been better used being a small shop. The development its quite set back so you are not walking distance from shops so having a local option would have been great. Th development is surrounded by lots of green space and feels very calming and godalming itself is lovely.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The loft not being usable. We actually only found out that we could not use the loft on our completion day. This was disappointing as not only does it limit storage but it was actually used as a selling point to us so seemed a bit deceitful.

What is the best feature of your home:

practical storage spaces, the house feels like it was designed with you in mind, very practically built to fit normal life, with linen cupboards, fitted wardrobes, large under stairs cupboards, a good amount of wall outlets and lighting.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Lovely small high street, with all your essentials, good pubs and close to transport links. Development still ongoing but will be finished and all amenities within a couple of years. Lots of bars and restaurants within short distance as well as shops and great outdoor activities.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That’s home facilities which are part of the development have taken longer than expected to complete…all coming but would have been nice sooner.

What is the best feature of your home:

High ceilings and balcony/deck to maximise evening sunshine.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Location is great. Good shops and restaurants. Watersports centre and so close Goodwood. Traffic is a nightmare most days.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Not in a way I would have expected. Painful trying to get work done.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It would have been good to know how little some staff members care.
