GDV / Unit

Build Cost (Range)
£61.4M–£77.7M
Residual Land Value
£16.8M
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £357,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £16,796,000 (£42k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV
| Gross Development Value | £150.3M |
| Construction (27,268 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£69.5M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£20.4M |

| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£26.3M |
| Implied residual land value | £16.8M |
Broker insight: A scheme of this scale would typically attract competitive senior development finance at 60-65% LTGDV with mezzanine stretching to 85% LTGDV. Phased drawdowns reduce interest costs. Consider development exit finance to manage sales at your pace.
