Is it time to upsize?
For some it’s about getting an extra bedroom, or more living space, while for others it’s to add a home office, or more outdoor area for active kids and entertaining, and there’s a few things to consider.
Whether you’re bursting at the seams with a growing family, have future baby plans, merging family generations or perhaps need space for lifestyle pursuits, the decision to upsize can have different objectives for home buyers. Whatever the plans, there are few aspects to consider.
Are your finances up to it?
The first step in the upsize decision process is to have your existing home appraised by a real estate agent with knowledge of your local area. This will provide you with information about your equity position (the difference between the market value of your home and the amount you owe the lender or bank, i.e. the payout you'd receive after paying off the mortgage liability). With this information you can meet with a financial adviser to establish what further finance is required to achieve your upsize plans, and whether it is feasible within your current income and commitments.
Understand the timeframes
Selling your current home first before buying your upsized home, or the other way around, can determine your new home journey. There’s no right or wrong answer, it really depends on the individual situation. When you purchase a block of land to build on, there is a scheduled title delivery date associated. This indicates when you will be able to start building and also when you will need to settle your balance of the purchase price. The time to title can be a great incentive to save and budget for your upcoming home build, an opportunity that isn’t available when buying established.
Staying in the neighbourhood
If you’ve found your upsize opportunity, whether that is an established home in a new area or a new building adventure, will you be able to keep the kids in the same schools or will you explore new options? It’s a good idea to understand all the impacts of your move, not just the financial implications.
Other costs to add
While the obvious cost involved with upsizing is the purchase of a new property, block of land or house and land package, there are some lesser considered expenses to consider too. A larger home can incur additional energy costs to heat and cool, while a bigger yard means more investment into garden and landscaping and ongoing maintenance.

Landscaping of your home
As you stand before your dream house, you’re now eager and excited to head to the local nursery to pick out trees, shrubs and flowers to make the house a home. However, it’s important to carefully consider and plan the garden around your home. It will be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experience as you transform the exterior to compliment the environment and your new home in Berwick.
So, what will you need to consider?
The Alira at Berwick design guidelines
Don’t forget to familiarise yourself with the Alira at Berwick Design Guidelines and be sure to share them with your builder and landscaper. The guidelines are included within the Plan of Sub Division and contract of sale - all housing and landscaping will be required to adopt the criteria set out in the guidelines. These guidelines ensure a high quality of housing is delivered throughout the project and differentiate Alira from anything else available in Berwick.
A private paradise
Want to create your own private backyard oasis? By utilising a combination of trees and hedges you can create a unique and calming environment to enjoy on those lazy summer afternoons. You should always consider the mature growth of the trees and hedges you’re deciding on, to ensure they will suit your family’s lifestyle for years to come.
Adding a hint of colour
The inclusion of different colours and textures will help bring your garden to life. A mixture of colourful and textual plants can help create a serene feeling and can be an expression of who you are. A helpful hint is to consider using plants that flower at different times of the year.
Planting to suit the environment
Native plants are great options to consider when dreaming up your garden. They are adapted to the local environment and will require less water and maintenance – which is always a bonus! While being able to choose a range of native plants in a range of different textures and colours, your choice to include natives will also improve the habitat for native birds and bees.
Planning beyond the plants
Your outdoor space is also more than just the garden. It needs to be a space for entertaining, relaxation, and overall enjoyment for you and your family. Think about entry points, driveaway and space for entertaining. What type of paving will you use – is it slippery in the wet? Do you include a mixture of pavers for added textual interest and stepping stones for access to gates and storage spaces? And do you build a deck to create a distinction between an entertaining space and the garden?
Landscaping plans
It is likely when building your dream home that City of Casey Council will require a landscaping plan for approval. The type of landscaping plan required depends on the nature and scale of your proposed home.

Try this check list to get you on the way to finding that perfect family-friendly neighbourhood to match your needs.
1. Walk in the Park
While most new communities will promote their planned abundance of open space and parkland, it’s worthwhile reviewing the scope of amenity in regard to offering something for all ages. Whether it be toddler play areas with soft fall surfaces and intuitive spaces to explore, or skate zones and ball courts for the older kids, BBQ and picnic areas, walking paths and bike routes, a good mix of activities is important. Equally worth reviewing is the distance to ‘green space’ from each allotment, it’s much more appealing to be able to walk to the park instead of driving.
2. Getting Around
Transport systems and routes are not added later but rather incorporated into the design of the estate. While your new community may have plans for specific bus routes and transport to established rail networks, it’s important to understand when this will become a reality, particularly if you rely on these services for work and school travel. Additionally, being close to key points for access to the CBD and airport are important factors.
3. School Zones
It’s a given to check out educational centers both within your new community and surrounding areas, even if your family is just beginning. Some schools will offer enrolments based on a prescribed zone, which means it’s worth researching what new schooling options are planned for the future and what you will have access to.
4. Everything You Need
While we don’t mind jumping in the car for those more involved shopping trips, when it comes to the groceries, popping into the bank and picking up scripts at the pharmacy, it’s nice to have everything you need within easy access. And, don’t forget to check out the closest coffee spots and dining out options. Whether it’s Berwick restaurants, the Narre Warren library or the closest Nando’s, checking out what’s in your new neighbourhood can help make the important decision!
5. A Community That Plays Together
More than words in a brochure, community engagement really is an important consideration. It’s the glue that makes new areas tick, can reduce crime and vandalism and is a great way to make new connections and friends. It’s worth checking out what activities are planned for residents, such as Auskick, exercise groups, mums and toddlers meet-ups and Men’s Sheds, all great opportunities to get involved with locals.
6. When it Feels Right
At the end of the day, you will most likely have a pretty good idea of your perfect community from the moment you step foot in the area. Our first impressions do count for a lot, and you can’t beat getting a first-hand feel for the real community - take some time to explore the area, play in the parks, and meet the locals.

Successful Laguna Precinct Release
Since launching its Laguna precinct in November 2017, land releases at Alira at Berwick have proven exceedingly popular, with all available lots selling out within days of their release.
Currently, there are a limited number of lots still available - ranging in size from 315sqm to 505sqm - in the last release so potential buyers will need to move fast.
Nestled in the heart of the project, the Laguna precinct offers future residents the perfect location. Situated a stone’s throw away from a network of impressive waterways, the local football field and the future retail centre – it’s not surprising these lots were snapped up so quickly.
With another Laguna Release scheduled for January 2018, prospective buyers are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
