Multi-Buyer Block Sales: Simon Abbott’s Scenario Approach

Most owners assume their only option is to sell a block of units as one parcel to a single investor or developer. Simon Abbott, however, is known for disruptive deals that unlock new value by assembling multiple buyers for a block—sometimes through separate transactions, sometimes by syndicating into smaller units of ownership.

Real Scenario: In Carlton in 2026, Simon sold a block of 15 flats (previously unsold for two years) by securing 15 separate investors from his database—within just 11 days. No online advertising, just active buyer-matching and negotiation skill.

• What does it take? Active relationships with buyers agents, investors, and SMSF managers.
• How do you structure the deal? Negotiating price alignment across lots, handling strata titling (or transfers on one title), and presenting clear rental yield breakdowns for each investor.

What Are the Pros and Cons for Owners?

Selling to multiple buyers can deliver a higher total price, as individual units may fetch a premium over a bulk sale—but it is more complex and requires careful coordination. Simon’s method reduces downtime, avoids long auction campaigns, and allows for targeted negotiation with each interested party.

What Documents and Legal Steps Are Critical?

• Clear title for each lot, or structuring as tenants-in-common if not strata titled yet.
• Disclosure compliance for each purchaser (Section 32 per unit).
• Rental yield and tenancy breakdowns—investors want precise numbers on every unit.

If you own a block and aren’t sure whether to sell in one go or split, Simon’s model gives you leverage over timing, buyer type, and price outcomes Victoria-wide.
