Not all blocks in Victoria are picture-perfect. Owners with blocks featuring “dirty” titles (unresolved title issues), unfinished developer leftovers, or past VCAT/VCAT disputes often feel trapped or unable to sell. Simon Abbott shares examples and solutions.
What is a Dirty Title or Developer Leftover?
A block with missing easements, boundary confusion, or insufficient subdivision documentation can be flagged by buyers/developers. “Leftover” blocks from incomplete developer projects (never strata-titled, incomplete works) have their own additional headaches.
How Simon Abbott Approaches Troubled Blocks
- Immediate legal review with title search and specialist property lawyer
- Disclosure to buyers BEFORE launch
- Target “problem solver” investors and add a risk margin to the price
Case Study:
Simon helped move a block with a 15-year-old incomplete plan of subdivision, by pairing a developer-inclined buyer at the right risk-adjusted price. Even tricky deals transact with full disclosure and specialist handling.
