GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £250,000 plus a 17% 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

Broker insight: For a 9-unit scheme in Stafford, we would typically structure senior debt at 60-65% LTGDV with mezzanine available to reduce equity to as little as 10%. Run an appraisal to model your returns.
