Build Cost (Range)
£34.0M–£43.0M
Residual Land Value
£8.1M
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £350,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £8,140,000 (£37k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV
| Gross Development Value | £81.6M |
| Construction (15,096 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£38.5M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£11.3M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£9.4M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£14.3M |
| Implied residual land value | £8.1M |
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.
