GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £495,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed). At benchmark build costs, the implied residual land value is £60,814,000 (£145k/unit) after a 17.5% developer profit target. Calculate GDV

| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£38.2M |
| Implied residual land value | £60.8M |
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.
