Director/PDMR Shareholding

The Berkeley Group Holdings plc (`the Company')                

                             Director Shareholding                             

The Company was notified on 27 October 2008 that on 24 October 2008 33,295
Units (each comprising one Ordinary share of 5p and one 2010B share of 5p) in
the Company were acquired by Kleinwort Benson (Jersey) Trustees Limited as
trustees of The Berkeley Group Employee Benefit Trust in connection with The
Berkeley Group Holdings plc 2004(b) Long Term Incentive Plan. The Units were
acquired at 686.6583p per Unit.

Following the purchase of Units, each director's interest has technically
increased by the number of Units acquired by the trust which does not relate to
his own award. Each Executive Director therefore has a technical interest in
all of the 33,295 Units acquired.

Note: For Companies Act purposes, The Executive Directors of The Berkeley Group
Holdings plc, together with all employees of the Company, are deemed to have a
technical interest in the Units held in The Berkeley Group's Employee Benefit
Trust. The interest ceases when Units are transferred to individuals on the
share vesting date.
