Almost every development decision comes down to one sum: what the finished scheme will sell for, minus what it costs to build and the fees to get there. What remains is what you can afford to pay for the land.

That figure is the residual land value. Until you have it, you do not know whether a site is a bargain or a trap.

The value side is usually the easier half, because comparable sales show what finished units achieve locally. Build cost is where appraisals go wrong, most often by borrowing a rate from a different building type, a different specification, or a different part of the country.

Then there are the costs that never appear in a headline rate: abnormal ground conditions, drainage and service diversions, retaining walls, contamination, CIL and section 106, and professional fees.

Two habits worth adopting. Build in a contingency that reflects the real risk on that specific site rather than a round number. And test the appraisal at a lower sale price: if a scheme only works at the best-case figure, it does not work
