Dec 4 2008 by Henryk Zientek, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

FANCY a second home in Huddersfield?

That question is being posed to ex-pats as far away as Asia for new houses in the town are to feature at a property exhibition in South East Asia.

As part of a drive to tempt ex-pats to buy a second home in Yorkshire, people will be able to buy a new property in Birkby.

Award-winning housebuilder Cala Homes has joined forces with international property consultancy propertrack.com to show off its Hexagon development at the former Hopkinsons Valves site in Birkby.

It will feature at a permanent exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The average house price for a three bedroom house in Huddersfield is around the £152,000 mark.

While in Kuala Lumpur you can expected a three-bed townhouse to set you back just £72,000.
