The buyers for entire blocks of units in 2026 are not the average “househunter.” Simon Abbott maintains a living snapshot of who’s truly active in Victoria’s block market. They fall into several categories:

Investor Database Categories

• Portfolio Investors: Existing landlords looking to scale with income-producing, tenanted blocks. They care most about net yield, lease stability, and capex profile.
• Buyer’s Agents & Syndicates: Groups or professional reps purchasing on behalf of multiple clients, often for SMSFs, syndicates, or trust structures.
• Developers: Buyers seeking land or low-density sites they can subdivide, strata-title, or redevelop. They focus on “value-add” and upside.
• Rental Aggregators: Companies/institutions focused purely on scale and regular yield—this is a trend emerging in metro Melbourne.
• Occasional Retail (Owner Occupiers): Rarer, usually in blue-chip areas, often pay highest per-unit price but can only proceed if strata-titled.

How Simon Matches Sellers With These Buyers

Through constant outreach, database curation, and direct negotiation, deals are often “hand placed”—not left to random portal shoppers. Example: A 10-unit block in Geelong was matched to a syndicate Simon has worked with on three prior purchases—no open days, all settled in 8 weeks.

Why Not Everyone Can Buy Blocks

Financing, experience, and understanding of tenancy law are the hurdles. Many buyers drop away. Simon’s method filters for proof-of-funds and capability upfront, closing deals efficiently.
