Trustpilotour Berkeley flat dangerous fire risk
our Berkeley flat in Deptford has been found recently to have absent fire breaks.The building has been deemed a fire risk.The cost of installing fire breaks is huge.we asked Berkeley to sort it out.But sadly they have not offered.they should be ashamed of themselves.

TrustpilotExcellent experience start to finish
I have bought a flat in the Horlicks Quarter. The experience from start to finish has been smooth and all the staff have been professional and approachable. Problems have been handled well and attended to without issue.The online information portal is fantastic. A few bits of information wasn't available on the portal, but was provided very quickly when requested

TrustpilotBorderline Modern Slavery - don't sell land to them
This company should not be sold land to EVER!!Look at the Glass door reviews - the staff are bullied, overworked, understaffed, HSE should be a regular visitor! If someone does not obey, they are fired on the spot - please don't buy their overpriced houses designed for rich overseas clients. Boycott by not buying houses and not selling them land. There are so many better builders.

TrustpilotA Great Human Asset in your Company
Tanya helped me with the selection of materials like those for the doors and the carpets patiently. She also helped me arranged the workers for the installation of curtains and the house cleaner to collect the keys to the house. She also helped me settle the issues of applying for public utilities like water, gas and electricity. She also makes use of her off working hours to help me settle everything related to my house and answer all my questions in WhatsApp. So she gives me strong confidence of your company and the condition of my house. Thx a lot for arranging Tanya to ease my worries. Thanks a billion🙏😊

Bought a new home with three severe problems. Uneven floors. I know there's a tolerance but I'm surprised by how an issue that a spirit level check can find out is ignored. Water leak on the first floor bathrooms. water comes in through the ground floor kitchen lights one week after move in. They refuse to replace the carpet and flooring. Sealants and grout start to fall out in kitchen and bathrooms. Slow response from them after complaint.

TrustpilotNo water for almost a week
I'm living in one of their developments as a renter and we haven't had water for almost a week because a pipe burst. Their only solution so far has been to provide a tanker of water outside to collect from and 2 (cold!) showers for 300+ people. My partner and I were considering purchasing an apartment in the development we're renting in until this happened..

TrustpilotLoving life at POWD!
As a property developer myself, who has NEVER bought off plan, my experience has been excellent from start to finish. St William/Berkeley have gone above and beyond for me in every way, specifically Sarah Price and Murray King, who have both provided an excellent service and really understood our needs. They were excellent. We love our new home and recommend them in every way!

Absolutely brilliant from sales to completion. Nothing is ever too much trouble, queries are dealt with really quickly and the whole experience has been amazing.The quality of the build is second to none and I would recommend Berkeley without hesitation.

TrustpilotMy new Berkeley home experience
I have just bought a new build from Berkeley and on the whole the experience has been okay. I initially had some issues when I reserved the plot but this was due to one member of staff not Berkeley Group in general, but it has soured the whole experience. I was kept informed as to how the build was going throughout which was good. The build itself was rushed at the end, (as I believe they are prone to be), but as I wasn't in a major rush to get in I would have preferred a little more time and care taken on the decoration inside. On completion there was a lovely welcome pack which was a very nice touch. My snagging list is fairly extensive but most are minor decoration issues due to it being rushed at the end, but these are booked in to be sorted. So in general my experience has had ups and downs. I'm not sure I would buy another new build but if I did I would probably choose a Berkeley home again as you get a lot more as standard than a lot of their competitors.

TrustpilotNo honesty or integrity, poor client service
Hired Berkely group to deal with a purchase. Before paying a deposit I asked them multiple times if the solicitors they were referring me to was accredited to Governments's help to buy (HtB) scheme, they confirmed they were. The solicitors who they referred me to maintained they were accredited and even provided me the name of the person who was accredit. After several months it turns out they were lying and that person has never even sought accreditation, which meant that I could not use them as solicitor to be eligible for a HtB purchase. This significantly slowed down my purchase.After changing solicitors, Berkely are still refusing to refund me for work they carried out/initial deposit, even though they gave me misinformation, so I'm left out of pocket. Awful client service, takes weeks to respond, no accountability. They are very cheap but you get what you pay for I guess.

All the staff without exception were friendly and professional, from Avril and Nam in the marketing suite, to Raza in legal and Shaan in customer service. Very responsive to queries, making our purchase very smooth. So far delighted with facilities and build quality and very much looking forward to moving in.

TrustpilotVery Professional!
From the time we decided to buy the apartment (under construction then), Berkeley has provided excellent service to us. We were regularly given updates on the progress of the construction. Natalie our CSM was super responsive and answered our questions in a promptly manner. She also arranged a visit for us to look at the apartment when it was safe for us to do so. The quality of the apartment is excellent too! It was such a great experience for us!

Recently purchased at the green quarter and the Berkeley home buying experience was exceptional from start to finish. Especially the customer relations team who did a great job given difficultys with covid and delays keeping proactively me informed. Flat has practically no snagging issues and the small issues or nitpicks where sorted immediately or next day. Only reason it's not 5 starts is the partnership with firtport they really need to find a better management agency partnership on the flats vs default as there issues reflect poorly on the Berkeley brand even if they are separate companies. Makes me hesitate recommend anyone buying a property if first port are managing agents.

TrustpilotPoor quality of brand new buildings
As it's been already said, it looks great on the outside but I'm afraid the property's quality is really poor. I have been living in a flat built by Berkeley in North London since 2019 and have been facing many issues along the way. Here are some of them: 1. garage flooding due to light rain 2. falty entrance door lock 3. popping noisy floor 4. leaky wall paint over the kitchen sink 5. leaky paint on cabinets right under the kitchen sink 5. wall dampness and mold (reported by neighbour) 6. intercom and IP guard (reported by neighbour) 8. lack of hot water (and hence heating) multiple times.

TrustpilotLooks great on the outside but cut corners on quality
New development of houses, looks great from the outside. However, we felt that Berkley have compromised on quality of the work and have cut corners to save money their end, very thin walls in the house with no sound proofing. Still ongoing snagging issues; no drainage in the garden resulting in a boggy marsh and awful roofing with rubble falling into the inner membrane. Slow at responding to these areas of concern with no plan from there side yet of how they will address these problems.
