GOVERNANCE Its business model recognises that Berkeley operates in a cyclical property market and that there are significant operational risks in identifying, designing, building and selling homes and creating places. Berkeley mitigates these risks by focusing on development in London and the South of England, markets which it knows and understands, and forward selling new homes wherever possible. In doing this, Berkeley maintains a strong balance sheet, keeps financial risk low and carefully allocates FINANCIALS resources to the right projects at the right time, matching supply to demand wherever it can.
