TrustpilotRoyal Arsenal could do better without Berkeley and corrupted Greenwich officials
Sales driven culture, poor customer care service. Royal Arsenal Developments vary in quality, and one should be careful. They are using delayed Crossrail for marketing without even correcting expecting service dates when delays become apparent. Take extended warranty because you will need it. Two years after Pavillion Square has been built, there are plenty of issues that arose from low built quality. Then there's dealing with the customer service that refuses to be let into the property by tenants to inspect faults if the owner is not present. Commuting 2h in public transport during Pandemic for just open the door, after tenants were authorised and involved in the email conversation. Also, keep note that you can't change your providers for gas and got water, and I had people from other buildings complain about being bound to a provider for electricity. Those community heating contracts are extortion and service is horrible (Switch2 worse than SSE)

TrustpilotPremium Developer? Not for us.
Unfortunately this review isn’t positive. Very long story short, my partner and I spent over 12 months in process of buying a new property using H2B. During this time I had spoken to 8 different members of the Berkeley staff, some of who had no idea what they were actually contacting us for. We were passed around from pillar to post with some interactions verging on laughable, simply because they had no answers to some very key questions but plenty of questions of their own. Nearing exchange our solicitors were not happy with the terms posed by theirs in the contract. Everything was very one sided or unexplained in enough detail that satisfied our legal team. All the while, their sales team thought it necessary that they pressure my partner and I to act as intermediaries in order to please their directors. Bizarre and highly unprofessional. What was most unpleasant was the pressure we felt during the whole process. It began with feeling as though we were lucky to be buying there. Then, the already agreed changes to our garden (agreed at reservation) were used as leverage to ensure we instructed our solicitors at their leisure. As we neared exchange we were told that Berkeley would enact notice on us and place our home back on the market as negotiations were taking too long (only for this to be withdrawn days later) But why you ask? Simple, their solicitors didn’t engage with ours. Even with all of this we persisted but the final nail was being asked to sign contracts without the approval of our own legal team. Illegal? Quite possibly. Eventually someone more senior was drafted in to rectify these issues but alas, far too late. We leave with £700 in legal fees we no longer need but the bright side is that we are now purchasing a wonderful new home with a developer that has made the whole process enjoyable. I’m not naive enough to think Berkeley are poor across the board but our experience with them has been a disaster and it’s a mistake we won’t make again.

TrustpilotThere has been a problem with water…
There has been a problem with water leaking into our flat from above for over 6 years. The 'service' we've received from Berkeley Group has included painting over mould and claiming the work was done (!) and blatant lying about bricks on the outside being 'bone dry'.I would avoid Berkeley Group Holdings at all costs.In the end, they are paying more to fix the problem because they have to keep coming back to repair botched incomplete jobs. I surmise they think that if they keep fobbing off, that people will get tired and give up or pay for the repairs themselves.

Moved in a month ago, and really enjoyed the new home. The experiences of settling in are excellent! I had a few small snags which were fixed quickly by the after care team. Sandi and Jennifer were brilliant, super helpful at every step of my moving.

Can’t recommend the staff at Hartland village enough. Their customer service is Second to none, particularly compared to some other local new build developers. Sadly, we had to pull out of our sale due to personal reasons but Frances and Janey both went above and beyond to help us and we are forever grateful. Fantastic service throughout the whole process even though we did cause them some issues, they did what they could to help so thanks again.

TrustpilotAVOID AVOID AVOID
AVOID AVOID AVOID. I bought two properties in the UK from Berkeley, on in OneBlackfriars and another in Chelsea Creek. And my experience is just the same as the others, once they take the money, anything that goes wrong will be a nightmare to fix, even if the property is within warranty. The heating system of my new home is not working and winter is quickly approaching. It's been a month since I initially reported and no solution has been provided. It seems ironic to live in a brand new million-pound flat and freeze in the cold English winter.Please DO NOT trust what they say about their clients would recommend them to a family and friend, this company ties this question in the survey for homeowners to the performance of the customer service team to guilt their customers into providing high scores for the company.

GoogleEnjoy living here for 6 months! Awaiting the facilities hoping that they will be ready this year foe my kids to enjoy! Only issue I see is the parking! Not all flats comes with parking and when asking concierge about information of parking they never know. They announce visitor parking but then they say it is only for contractors. The information is not clear.

TrustpilotDelivery beyond expectations.
The professionalism and curtesy placing us as the customer first. Berkeley has surpassed its initial targets in delivering a development that Southall can be proud of. After the pains of removing the gas works and parking lots, Berkeley has created a wonderful community friendly environment. It has set a new standard for future development for the rest of Southall to follow. It’s a pleasure to take visitors as the destination that we can be proud of. Everyone associated with Berkeley and the development go the extra mile with a smile. 😊 For me Berkeley have genuinely excelled in every aspect. As a former Southallian, I would recommend to any investor or someone looking to return to Southall , that now there is such a desirable place at The Green Quarter.Looking forward to the next phases of development with eager anticipation.

Phenomenal. From day one the guys at Highwood have delivered World Class Service. An enormous thank you to Emma and team through the sales process, answering the myriad of questions we had with patience and understanding. After Care from Holly doesn't come better either, again showing that this Company has people that actually care. The build quality is exceptional too. Can't speak highly enough of Berkeley

TrustpilotRevolting organisation -Worcester Park Fire
Revolting organisation, my children lost their first home and everything they ever owned due to a fire in Worcester Park. There were no fire stops or cavity barriers leaving my children in a powerless situation, homeless and lucky to be alive. Yet this company refuse to support the trauma needs caused by their experiences. Do not make the same mistakes and purchase a home from these people.

GoogleAs the owner of one of the apartments, I notified the reception via email about the agency I appointed last September upon receiving the property. When my tenant breached the lease with a short-term sublet, we informed the reception to deactivate the flat fob. However, for half a year, the front desk has been prevaricating and failing to act. This level of service is utterly infuriating, and my emails have been met with complete silence.

My wife and I were excited about the prospect of buying our new home at Hareshill in Crookham Village, however the increased interest on mortgages made the sale of my cottage very challenging. We had many views but nobody followed through with an offer for months, although we were mortgage free our potential buyers were not. The customer liaison person at Hareshill acted with great sensitivity to our situation while also balancing a professional approach to targeting BH’s sales. We wish to commend her even though she is no longer with BH.Following our eventual success in completing the purchase on our new BH property we have been delighted by the ongoing support and attention from the on site liaison team, they have been excellent and have on occasion gone beyond what I would expect in terms of support.

TrustpilotBought a dream, living a nightmare
Excellent pre-sales but once things started to go wrong they blamed the contractors and never saw anything through to the end. As a result, I now have a cracked worktop which they won’t fix, yellow residue all through my bathroom, am on my third floor, have door handles which don’t match and windows which don’t close. Additionally, the garage door breaks down every couple of months and their design means my windows can’t be cleaned. The most disappointing aspect of all of it is how dismissive they are of problems and their lack of accountability. Would not recommend.
