From Kuala Lumpur to Lepton - Malaysians snap up Huddersfield homes

Cala has built 37 one and two-bed apartments in the converted stone office building fronting Wheathouse Road.

It is also building a range of two, three and four bedroom mews houses as well as larger four and five bedroom family houses.

The company said it had received a growing number of enquiries about properties from international investors and UK ex-pats in the wake of falling house prices.

The Leeds-based housebuilder believes there is a “significant appetite” among ex-pats living in regions such as South East Asia to purchase a second home or investment property.

Alongside the Hexagon development, Cala Homes is building new family houses at two sites in Penistone, at Garforth, near Leeds, and in York.
