GDV estimated from the HM Land Registry blended median of £150,000 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 | £1.6M |
| Construction (850 sqm @ £2,000/sqm mid) | −£1.7M |
| Externals, fees & contingency | −£451k |
| Finance (65% LTGDV, 18m) & sales costs | −£156k |
| Developer profit target (17.5% on GDV) | −£276k |
| Implied residual land value | Marginal |
Broker insight: For a 10-unit scheme in Gateshead, 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.
Appraisal assumptions
- GDV: HM Land Registry blended median of £150,000 plus a 5% new-build premium (assumed).
- Build cost: £1,750-£2,250/sqm (new build, indicative range informed by BCIS regional tender-price data, 2025/26) × 85 sqm/unit (NDSS-derived).
- On-costs: externals 10%, professional fees 10%, contingency 5%, sales & legals 3.5000000000000004% of GDV. Excludes CIL/Section 106, which vary by charging schedule and scheme.
- Finance: senior facility at 65% LTGDV, 8.5% pa on an average 57.49999999999999% drawdown over 18 months, plus 2.5% arrangement and exit fees.
- Residual land value assumes the industry-standard 17.5% developer profit-on-GDV target. Indicative appraisal, not a valuation or lending offer.
