Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Scarborough planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 3 schemes represent an estimated £59.9M in combined GDV across 317 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Build Cost (Range)

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £180,000 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 | £25.9M |
| Construction (9,316 sqm @ £2,050/sqm mid) | −£19.1M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£5.6M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£3.0M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£4.5M |
| 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.
