If you want to spend half a million on a cheap built property that is amongst a vast number of Vivid Social housing (offered to illegal immigrants) then good luck to you! Rubbish.

Local democracy wins
Berkley application for building on the Gas holders site Motspur Park was rejected last night by Kingston council , a proposal for high rise blocks completely inappropriate to the location . Berkeley showed a complete arrogance and disrespect for the community and local residents

The Berkley Group Flat Purchase
Working with The Berkley Group whilst purchasing my 1 bed apartment at the Horlicks Factory was an exceptional experience from start to finish, and much of that is thanks to the incredible people I had the privilege of working alongside, Izzy, Ellie, Saied, and Cameron.

Nice flat, painful lawyer.
Difficult buying experience - slow and arrogant legal team were a pain to deal with, but we got there in the end. Moving in experience has been great though, with all snags rapidly sorted out and a lovely welcome from the team on the ground.

4.5/5 premium, but with minor flaws
Berkeley has a strong reputation for offering premium properties, and that is largely my experience with their Glasswater Locks project. Most aspects were delivered against the top standard. There were some minor flaws that stopped me from giving Berkeley a full five stars, however. The dishwasher door catches the plinth and makes noise when opening and closing, and the backing board under the bathroom sink was not fitted at the time of completion. Costumer service is responsive and keeps me updated throughout, but the dishwasher door issue has not been fully resolved. That said, the overall experience with Berkeley is great.

£500m profits, but the Christmas tree didn’t make the cut.
Berkeley Homes has had a stellar year financially, yet at Royal Arsenal Riverside they couldn’t stretch to putting up this year’s Christmas tree. Festive cheer clearly didn’t pass the cost review.

Quality build and professional customer service. Special requests were readily agreed. Choice of carpets, tiling, kitchen colours. House feels solid and substantial. Snags dealt with quickly. Nothing is too much trouble for customer service at this development.

We bought a lovely new flat on Highcroft Development in Wallingford. The whole process was superbly handled by the team. It’s a great place to live - not just a flat.

Woodberry Down is no longer safe
Woodberry Down is not safe! Crime is now so bad that walking outside puts you at risk of theft or stabbing, any time of day, any day. Even cars are being stolen from the street. Berkeley don’t care nor have they done anything to address the rising crime rates. It’s not safe here anymore. The local gangs have also recently started entering the buildings, so we are not even safe inside. Where is the accountability?

Berkeley Homes Is a Total Disgrace, Unsafe, Poorly Built, and Financially Exploitative
Living in a Berkeley Homes development has been one of the most disappointing and frustrating experiences I’ve ever had as a homeowner. For what is marketed as a luxury development, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. I have lived here for 10 years and the situation is rapidly worsening.

Knife crimes on property with no intervention
I’m disappointed with the growing lack of security at Woodberry Down. Crime has noticeably increased, with incidents like phone snatching, trespassing into buildings, and even knife-related events making residents feel unsafe. My husband was mugged at knifepoint, an elderly man was murdered on the property, and the same group of kids from the nearby estate continue to commit crimes on property with no intervention from Berkeley homes. Security presence is minimal and access points aren’t well monitored. For a development sold as premium, this is unacceptable. I hope Berkeley Group addresses these issues urgently, but right now I cannot recommend living here.

Concerning criminal activity in the area; Security and management do not address or do anything about the growing issue. Residents are left to deal with the situation on their own.

Quite disappointing experience buying a house in this development, mainly due to how slowly snagging issues get attended to (still waiting after two years for things to be fixed) and also the ridiculous service by RMG (the company providing ground maintenance services). There are so many cases of gardening works causing damage to properties (broken windows) and damaging cars, parked outside as was in our case. No response from RMG for over two months - left to deal with the financial impact of damages caused by their contractors. Plenty more examples. I would be looking into the other developments in PW and the vicinity, if I were buying now.
