What Buyers’ Agents Want: Inside the Investor Checklist
Buyers’ agents drive many block-of-unit deals across Victoria—especially for busy investors, syndicates, or self-managed funds. Simon Abbott works closely with these agents and knows what they look for:
- Yield, yield, yield: Gross rental return by lot and blended return for the block.
- Tenancy health: Lease terms, defaults, upcoming vacancies—risk-adjusted.
- Scope for uplift: Can units be cosmetically improved to increase rent?
- Title structure: Individual titles (strata/torrens) vs single title—impacts lending, resale, management.
- Transparency/documentation: Up-to-date rent schedules, condition reports, owners corp info ready.
Scenario: A buyer’s agent on Simon’s list will often assemble 3–5 investors to take sections of a block, or steer an SMSF into a fully let block where management/returns are stable. Clean paperwork gets you a faster result.
