Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Newark planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 3 schemes represent an estimated £236.7M in combined GDV across 980 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £230,000 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 | £96.6M |
| Construction (27,200 sqm @ £2,150/sqm mid) | −£58.5M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£17.2M |

| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£16.9M |
| 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.
