Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Eastbourne planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 2 schemes represent an estimated £9.8M in combined GDV across 35 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £268,000 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 | £7.0M |
| Construction (2,125 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£5.4M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£1.4M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 18m) & sales costs | −£695k |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£1.2M |
| Implied residual land value | Marginal |
Broker insight: For a 25-unit scheme in Eastbourne, 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.
