Sell your building together. Walk away with 20–30%* more.
When apartment owners sell to a developer as one, everyone earns more than selling unit by unit. Konsensus guides you and your neighbours through the whole journey — the conversations, the consensus, the negotiation — from first chat to settlement.
Free · Confidential · No obligation — and if a collective sale isn't right for your building, we'll tell you.

What's a collective sale — and why does it pay more?
A collective sale is when the owners in an apartment building agree to sell the whole building together — usually to a developer — instead of selling their units one by one. Developers pay for what the site could become, not just the apartments on it today. That difference is why owners in whole-building sales typically walk away with 20–30% more than they'd get selling alone.
You don't need everyone. You need 75%.
Under NSW's strata renewal laws, a collective sale can proceed with the support of 75% of owners — with independent court oversight to make sure every owner, including those who vote no, receives at least fair market value plus their share of the premium. Our goal is never to squeak past 75%, though. The best outcomes happen when nearly everyone genuinely wants the deal — and that's what we work toward.
Is your building a candidate?
Collective sales aren't right for every building. These are the signs yours might be one of them:
Built before the 1990s
older buildings often sit on land worth far more than the apartments themselves.
Repair bills that keep climbing
special levies for cladding, concrete, lifts or waterproofing that no longer make financial sense.
Big land, low density
a large block with generous zoning is exactly what developers pay premiums for.
Developer activity nearby
if buildings around you are being bought or redeveloped, yours may be on someone's list already.
Neighbours already talking
if the idea keeps coming up at the barbecue or the AGM, that's a signal worth testing properly.
Your building is worth more than the sum of its units.
Sold one by one, apartments are valued as apartments. Sold together, your building is valued as a development site — and developers compete for those. One sale, one negotiation, one settlement, and a premium shared fairly across every owner.
Developers buy potential, not just apartments
One building attracts competing buyers in a way single units never do
The premium — typically 20–30%* — is shared across every owner

From first conversation to settlement — how it works
1
Discover
A free, confidential chat about your building. We'll give you an honest read: strong candidate, possible candidate, or not worth pursuing right now.
2
Value
An independent estimate of what your building could be worth as a whole — so every owner sees the same numbers before deciding anything.
3
Align
The part no lawyer or agent does. We speak with every owner, answer the hard questions, and build genuine support toward the 75% needed under NSW law — without pressure and without ambushing anyone.
4
Sell
We run a competitive sale process with multiple buyers, negotiate on your side of the table, and coordinate the lawyers and valuers through to settlement.
Most collective sales take 12–24 months from first conversation to settlement. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your building in the first chat — and tell you early if the timing isn't right.
The hard part isn't the sale. It's the consensus. That's our job.

Built by an owner and a developer — working only for owners
Konsensus was born out of a need. James, an apartment owner in Willoughby, NSW, wanted to explore a collective sale with his neighbours — and found no clear path, no simple guide, and no one dedicated to helping owners come together. Zach, a close friend and experienced property developer, saw the same problem from the other side of the table. If the two of them were struggling, everyday apartment owners across Australia had to be hitting the same roadblocks. So they built the company they couldn't find: one that makes collective sales simpler, clearer and fairer — for the owner, first.
