What Is Gross Development Value?
Gross Development Value, commonly referred to as GDV, is the estimated value of the completed development.
For example, if a developer converts a property into several units, the GDV represents the estimated total value of the completed units.
Getting the GDV assumption right is important because an overly optimistic end value can make an otherwise unprofitable project appear attractive.
Why Calculate Development Profit Before Buying?
Property development involves many costs beyond the purchase price.
Construction, professional fees, finance, planning, taxes, contingency and selling costs can significantly affect the final profit.
Calculating these costs before committing to a purchase can help identify potential risks and determine whether the project meets your investment criteria.
Property Development and Auction Purchases
Auction properties can sometimes present development opportunities, including properties requiring refurbishment, conversion or redevelopment.
However, auction purchases often involve strict completion deadlines and buyers should carry out appropriate due diligence before bidding.
What Makes a Good Development Project?
A development project should be assessed using realistic assumptions for purchase costs, construction costs, finance, programme, GDV and selling costs.
It is also sensible to allow a contingency for unexpected construction costs and delays.
