Selling a block of units is more complex than a single house—in 2026, buyers and their lawyers scrutinise every document. Simon Abbott’s checklist makes the process simple—and can stop your deal falling apart at due diligence.
Essential Documents for Block Sales
- Section 32 Vendor Statement: Covers title, outgoings, and legal compliance. Needed for every Victorian property sale, doubly scrutinised for blocks.
- Contract of Sale: Preferably drafted by a lawyer experienced in block/strata contracts—covers peculiars like tenancies, schedule of rents, and title structure.
- Tenancy Schedule: Table with every unit, rental amount, lease expiry, bond, tenant info.
- Outgoings Statement: Full accounting of rates, insurance, maintenance, management fees.
- Certificates (Strata, Title, Zoning): Especially if there’s any subdivision or future planning overlay.
- Compliance/Insurance: Smoke alarm checks, building insurance, safety certificates.
Simon’s Tip: Prepare in Advance
He has seen blocks “fall over” when lawyers spot missing or unclear rent schedules—prepare these before listing to make sure buyers stay committed. Example: One sale lost three buyers after tenants’ lease data was misaligned in old Excel. Post-fix: deal done the same week.
