Some blocks are one-of-a-kind: odd layouts, irregular land, or non-standard titles. Simon Abbott regularly handles apartment blocks where ‘nothing comparable’ exists—using yield benchmarking, cost-to-replicate, and creative small syndicate testing.
Case example: A small coastal block with a mix of retail, one-bed and two-bed units; no direct comps. Simon invited a shortlist of commercial and residential investors for sealed offers, then ran parallel costed valuations. The block fetched 12% above a surveyor’s best (comp-based) estimate.
What matters: Investors value certainty and strategy—a specialist agent with knowledge of strata, overlay, and title complexity can build more plausible buyer confidence than ‘local experts’ quoting by the square meter.
If your block is unique, don’t accept a phoney benchmark. Get a practical pricing plan from Simon Abbott today.
