GDV / Unit

Build Cost (Range)
£62.4M–£79.1M
Residual Land Value
£43.9M
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £445,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £43,864,000 (£108k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV
| Gross Development Value | £190.6M |
| Construction (27,744 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£70.7M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£20.8M |

| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£33.4M |
| Implied residual land value | £43.9M |
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.
