GDV
Calculate Gross Development Value across a mixed scheme.
Introduction
Who this is for: Developers and lenders establishing the finished value of a scheme.
Why it matters: GDV is the foundation every other development number rests on. Overstate it and the whole appraisal is wrong — including the land price you can afford.
Typical scenario: A mixed scheme of 18 open-market flats, 6 affordable units and a ground-floor commercial unit.
- Using peak-market comparables rather than achievable values in current conditions.
- Forgetting affordable units sell at a substantial discount to open market.
- Ignoring commercial floorspace, which values on income rather than per square foot.
