Victoria’s buyer pool for blocks of units is increasingly varied. SMSFs (Self-Managed Super Funds), syndicates and overseas investors all play a part in the 2026 market. Simon Abbott breaks down how the sales process (and contract terms) often differ for these buyer types — and what sellers must do to keep deals on track:
SMSF Buyers
- Require full lease/rent roll transparency
- May be more yield-focused, lower gearing
- Buying entity needs careful contract prep
Syndicate Buyers
- Often several individuals or company entities join
- Longer DD periods, “cash equity” proof requirements
- Complex contract assignments, special conditions
Overseas Investors
- FIRB approval may be needed—build time in for risk
- Disclosure of cross-border payment compliance
- Language/document translation, if required
