What are the active, serious buyers for blocks of units and apartment portfolios looking for now? Simon Abbott draws from his Victoria-wide buyer database to share insights about what block buyers actually demand in 2026.
Top Criteria for Apartment Block Buyers
- Strong net yield (often 6%+ for blocks, with growth upside)
- Current, transparent rent rolls, lease terms and tenant stability
- No major hidden defects or past dispute history
- Potential for improvement, value-add or strata titling
- Development feasibility (zoning, overlays, future density)
How Simon Uses This Knowledge When Selling
Because the dataset is live, Simon can match new blocks to buyers’ wishlists—creating early competition and targeted approaches that cut time on the market, reduce failed contracts, and often lift the final result above comparable sales.
