Revenue model

1. Residential Property Sales: Berkeley Group generates the majority of its revenue through the sale of new-build residential properties. The company operates across the premium and mid-market segments in London and the South of England, offering properties ranging from apartments to family homes. Revenue is recognized upon property completions and handovers. Average selling prices vary by development, typically ranging from £400,000 to over £2 million depending on location and property type.
2. Build-to-Rent (Berkeley Living): The company operates a build-to-rent platform under the Berkeley Living brand, offering professionally managed rental accommodation within established developments. This represents a recurring revenue stream from rental income, with the first community launching in early 2026 at Alexandra Gate.
3. Commercial Property (Berkeley Commercial): The company generates revenue from commercial properties integrated within residential developments, including retail, leisure, and office spaces let to third-party tenants.
4. Affordable Housing Partnerships: Berkeley Partnership delivers affordable housing in partnership with Registered Social Landlords and public sector bodies, contributing to the company's overall revenue through planning requirement fulfillment.
