Alisa and Lysandra tipped to win The Block Sky High, but it all might depend on your view

Adelaide sisters Alisa and Lysandra are tipped to be the winners of tomorrow’s The Block Sky High auction, according to betting website Sportsbet.

The South Australian twins on level one have $1.65 odds, followed by the penthouse couple Trixie and Johnno at $3.00.

Madi and Jarrod on level four sit in third place with a betting odd of $5.00, followed by Bec and George at $7.00.

Level two Western Australia couple Matt and Kim are tipped for last place at $9.00.

Interior designer Shaynna Blaze is also backing the twins to win or Melbourne couple Bec and George.

“Bec and George, being in the middle apartment, are the first to get the view and theirs is the most sellable as a blank canvas,” says Blaze.

“I think between the quality of their [Alisa and Lysandra] finishing’s and having the lowest reserve the girls will do brilliantly.

“If those girls had the top apartment then it would have been game over,” says Blaze.

But Melbourne buyers agent Frank Valentic says the top two levels, Trixie and Johnno and Madi and Jarrod, are likely to bring home the big bucks with people willing to pay a premium price for views.

Valentic says level one, two and three are facing the challenge of a potential three-storey townhouse redevelopment to be built next door, potentially having their views built out.

“People pay a premium price for views, a potential 10% to 20% higher,” says Valentic.

“Level one, two and three may potentially have no views in the future when the development happens next door."

The apartments will go under the hammer on Saturday July 27, with the public to find out the results on Sunday July 28.
