Who Typically Buys Blocks of Units in Victoria? (2026 Buyer Profiles)

September 21, 2026

Who’s actually buying blocks of units in Victoria, and why?
Simon Abbott’s experience across hundreds of unit blocks reveals a mix you won’t see in typical campaigns.

  • Private investors looking for better yield or land banking
  • Buyer’s agents representing syndicates, family offices or high-net-worths
  • Developers — often seeking strata break-up, renovation or redevelopment
  • SMSFs and property funds — especially for diversified income assets
  • Co-buying groups — mature in the Victoria market, including “friends/family” syndicates

Why They Buy Blocks

Yield: Blocks often deliver net returns that single dwellings can’t match.

Control: Investors like control over land, management, and strata decisions.

Value-add: Developers target uplift via renovations or strata titling.

Long-term holding: SMSF/funds seek stable, low-churn asset classes.

Simon’s Buyer Database In Action

Simon regularly matches blocks of 4–20+ units with active buyers, including investor syndicates and agents representing offshore clients—deals rarely seen on major property portals.

Case Example: Syndicate/Agent/Investor Mix

Recent portfolio: 9-unit, 6-unit and 15-unit block sales—each to a different “non-public” investor type. Simon’s network and off-market approach deliver direct, tailored matches for blocks statewide.
