The Berkeley Group Holdings plc                        

                   The Berkeley Group Employee Benefit Trust                   

The Berkeley Group Holdings plc (the 'Company') has been notified of the
transfer on 8 August 2005 of 222,306 Units (each comprising one new Ordinary
Share, one 2006 B Share, one 2008 B Share and one 2010 B Share) ('Units') of
the Company by The Berkeley Group Employee Benefit Trust (the 'EBT').

These Units have been transferred to participants under The Berkeley Group plc
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 'Plan').

Where individual employee interests arising from this transaction are
themselves reportable, appropriate disclosure has been made.

Following this disposal the EBT now holds 693,301 Units.

Each of the executive directors of the Company is a potential beneficiary under
the EBT and therefore, in accordance with the Companies Act 1985, is regarded
as having a non-beneficial interest in the EBT holding of 693,301 Units.
