Reference

Understanding the numbers

Total Development Cost (TDC)

Land, construction, professional fees, contingency, capitalised interest and line fees.

Gross Realisation Value (GRV)

The estimated total end value of the completed units or lots when sold.

LVR on GRV

Loan-to-value measured against GRV. Senior lenders commonly assess a maximum range around 65–70%.

Lend-to-TDC

The percentage of total development costs covered by debt. Well-structured projects are often assessed around 75–80%.

Profit Margin

Lenders commonly look for a sufficient profit buffer, often around 15–20% of TDC depending on the deal.

Peak Debt

The maximum outstanding balance during the project, generally before completed stock begins settling.
