U.K. developer Berkeley Group is planning to open an office in Singapore to cater to the increasing number of local buyers of its London properties.
The company, which sells properties under the St George, St James, St Edward and Berkeley Homes brands, has been selling properties to Singaporean buyers and investors for many years. It holds regular property exhibitions in the city state, as well as in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.
It will also be opening a Hong Kong office this month, underlining the importance of buyers from the Far East. The Singapore office is expected to open before the end of this year.
Speaking to PropertyGuru at the Singapore launch of its Marine Wharf development (pictured) this past weekend, Matthew De Monti, Sales Director for Berkeley Homes, said the Singapore office will provide a local contact point for existing clients and will manage enquiries for its London and Southeast England properties.
He said: “It’s always good to have someone in the region to aid and assist with our existing property exhibitions, and to service our existing clients.”
