Practical Information

As a completed development, new build homes are no longer available directly from Berkeley Homes. Prospective homeowners must search for resales on the open market, with asking prices currently ranging from £600,000 to over £1,000,000. Berkeley Group has a strong corporate track record, delivering thousands of homes in London and the South East and is often ranked highly for build quality. However, site-specific resident feedback has indicated reports of numerous snagging issues and design concerns. Interested parties are advised to engage a professional snagging company and to contact local Wokingham estate agents for details on available properties and current resale pricing.
