Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Whitby planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 3 schemes represent an estimated £340.4M in combined GDV across 1,280 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £255,000 plus a 4.3% new-build premium (measured locally). 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 | £127.7M |
| Construction (32,640 sqm @ £2,050/sqm mid) | −£66.9M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£19.7M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£14.7M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£22.3M |
| 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.
