What’s a Realistic Settlement Timeline for Blocks of Units in 2026?

Block-of-units campaign outcomes are rarely 30-day settlements. Simon Abbott breaks down what to expect for sellers and how to pre-empt surprises in the current market.

Typical Scenarios (2026):

• Investor sales with long-term tenants: standard is 60–90 days (can be longer if there’s financing or strata/subdivision complexity).
• Syndicate/multiple-buyer deals: as much as 120 days, especially where overseas finance is in play or if separate contracts are needed for each lot.
• Urgency/private treaty: sometimes 30–45 days IF the buyer is cashed-up (rare for entire blocks, commoner in split deals).

Simon’s advice: Plan for flexibility. Blocks of units are complex assets; align your outcome expectations with the buyer pool you want to attract.
