The Trusted Home Builders in Berwick
Berwick is situated in Melbourne's outer south-eastern suburbs, between Narre Warren and Beaconsfield.
Originally a rich agricultural and pastoral area during the 1800s, Berwick developed into a satellite town of Melbourne, eventually being incorporated as a suburb of the city during the 1990s due to thriving property development in the district.
Berwick has a railway station and bus terminus situated together along Reserve St. Regular trains travel into Melbourne City and out to Pakenham via Beaconsfield and Officer. Vline trains also transit through Berwick from the City to Warragul and beyond.

How house and land finance works in Victoria
With a house and land package, you’ll usually have two parts to your finance. First is the land contract, where your lender helps you settle on the block in Berwick. Second is the build contract with your home builder, with progress payments made at each stage of construction. Fixed-price house and land packages mean your main build costs are locked in upfront, helping you budget and compare options across south-east Melbourne.
Before you commit, it’s important to understand your borrowing capacity, deposit requirements and how repayments will work while your home is being built. Our team can connect you with specialists who focus on first home buyer support and new home finance, so you can get clear answers on your situation.

If you’re building your first home, there are government incentives and schemes that may help you get into the market sooner. We help you explore:
- FHOG eligibility and how it applies to new homes
- Stamp duty concessions for eligible first-home buyers
- Low-deposit and guarantee-style schemes that may reduce upfront savings
- Lender pre-approval and what documents you’ll need
- Savings and deposit planning to get you finance-ready
