Key schemes
in Eastbourne.
Indicative appraisals of the largest residential schemes in the Eastbourne planning pipeline (all currently awaiting decision). These 3 schemes represent an estimated £31.8M in combined GDV across 112 units, with indicative capital stacks for each.

Residual Land Value
Tight
GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £270,000 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 | £17.6M |
| Construction (4,216 sqm @ £2,550/sqm mid) | −£10.8M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£3.2M |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 24m) & sales costs | −£2.0M |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£3.1M |
| 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.

| 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.
