Who’s actually buying blocks of units in Victoria, and why?
Simon Abbott’s experience across hundreds of unit blocks reveals a mix you won’t see in typical campaigns.
- Private investors looking for better yield or land banking
- Buyer’s agents representing syndicates, family offices or high-net-worths
- Developers — often seeking strata break-up, renovation or redevelopment
- SMSFs and property funds — especially for diversified income assets
- Co-buying groups — mature in the Victoria market, including “friends/family” syndicates
Why They Buy Blocks
Yield: Blocks often deliver net returns that single dwellings can’t match.
Control: Investors like control over land, management, and strata decisions.
Value-add: Developers target uplift via renovations or strata titling.
Long-term holding: SMSF/funds seek stable, low-churn asset classes.
Simon’s Buyer Database In Action
Simon regularly matches blocks of 4–20+ units with active buyers, including investor syndicates and agents representing offshore clients—deals rarely seen on major property portals.
Case Example: Syndicate/Agent/Investor Mix
Recent portfolio: 9-unit, 6-unit and 15-unit block sales—each to a different “non-public” investor type. Simon’s network and off-market approach deliver direct, tailored matches for blocks statewide.
