GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £347,000 plus a 3.2% new-build premium (measured locally). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £15,889,000 (£49k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV

| Implied residual land value | £15.9M |
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.
