Key schemes

Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Northwich planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 3 schemes represent an estimated £189.3M in combined GDV across 688 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Build Cost (Range)

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £262,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs and a 17.5% profit target, viability is tight - land would need to be secured well below prevailing values for this scheme to appraise. Calculate GDV
| Gross Development Value | £123.2M |
| Construction (30,464 sqm @ £2,100/sqm mid) | −£64.0M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£18.8M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£14.1M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£21.6M |
| Implied residual land value | Marginal |
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.
