GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £450,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £26,697,000 (£111k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV
| Gross Development Value | £113.4M |
| Construction (16,320 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£41.6M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£12.2M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£13.0M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£19.8M |
| Implied residual land value | £26.7M |
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.
Appraisal assumptions
- GDV: HM Land Registry blended median of £450,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed).
- Build cost: £2,250-£2,850/sqm (new build, indicative range informed by BCIS regional tender-price data, 2025/26) × 68 sqm/unit (NDSS-derived).
- On-costs: externals 12.5%, professional fees 10%, contingency 5%, sales & legals 3.5000000000000004% of GDV. Excludes CIL/Section 106, which vary by charging schedule and scheme.
- Finance: senior facility at 65% LTGDV, 8.5% pa on an average 57.49999999999999% drawdown over 24 months, plus 2.5% arrangement and exit fees.
- Residual land value assumes the industry-standard 17.5% developer profit-on-GDV target. Indicative appraisal, not a valuation or lending offer.
