Residual Land Value

GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £168,980 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 | £60.7M |
| Construction (23,256 sqm @ £2,050/sqm mid) | −£47.7M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£14.0M |

| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£10.6M |
| 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.
