What Type of Buyers Actually Buy Blocks of Units?

Selling an apartment block or whole group of townhouses is very different from marketing a family home. Simon Abbott explains the main buyer types in Melbourne and regional Victoria for multi-unit investment assets.

• Private investors: including single high-net-worth individuals or family offices seeking rental income and long-term value.
• Buyer’s agents representing investor groups: These parties act for off-shore, local, or syndicate interests.
• Existing block owners: Many Collings buyers already own other blocks and look for “step-up” purchases or strategic location swaps.
• Developers: Especially with blocks that offer redevelopment/extension or strata sell-down potential.
• Home buyers (if strata titled): Sell-down sales can be made direct to live-in owners or downsizers seeking city-fringe units.

Simon maintains relationships with active buyers in all categories above and knows how to match your asset to the correct pool for maximum competition.
