Oval Village named development of the year at the RESI Awards

​The London property is always evolving, but the true investment opportunities are defined by longevity, vision and unmatched execution. This month, the prestigious RESI Awards threw its spotlight on one of the capital’s most significant regeneration milestones. Berkley Group took home the renowned Large Developer of the Year title, while its landmark South London project, Oval Village, was officially crowned as Development of the Year (among more than 350 homes).

​For property investors, this isn’t just a news headline; it’s a strong market signal validating the long-term capital appreciation and rental yield potential of this asset.

Why Oval Village won development of the year

Sitting right on the edge of Zone 1, these new-build homes in Oval offer a brilliant mix of local charm and convenience. On one side, you have the famous cricket heritage of the area, while on the other, you’re just moments away from the high-energy business hubs of Vauxhall and Nine Elms.

​In addition, Oval Village sets a high standard with standout perks and benefits like a 24-hour concierge, a private cinema, a top-tier gym and beautiful residents’ gardens. For a landlord, these kinds of luxurious amenities are exactly what attract reliable, high-quality tenants, keep them renting longer, and support strong rental yields.

Investment potential at Oval village

Historically, buying into Berkeley Group developments in London has been a wise move, simply because their build quality is so reliable and they pick areas right before they grow. Oval Village is a perfect example, sitting in a neighbourhood that is seeing a massive investment.

​Also, the transportation links are easy to use. With Oval Station (Northern Line) and Vauxhall Station (Victoria Line) close by, residents can get to the City or the West End in under 15 minutes^. For landlords, this effortless commute means a steady stream of great tenants, from corporate professionals to students.

Featured investment: Plot of the week

If you want to crack this momentum, a really unique layout has just hit the market. We highly recommend you with a premium one-bedroom duplex priced at around £710,000. At 626 sq ft., the split-level design makes the whole space feel much bigger than a standard one-bed. It comes with a lovely 68 sq. ft private terrace overlooking the private central gardens. A huge selling point for landlords here is the additional guest toilet, separated from the main bathroom. It is a very unique feature that attracts renters, making the property incredibly easy to let.
