HCA : Why viability test?
To make sure we can deliver our land disposal plan To ensure we get the best value for our land To see that our investment goes where it is needed most To make sure that our investment works as hard as it
can – maximise recovery To select delivery partners (DPP)

Think like a developer ….. What is the total amount I could be paid for this development when completed? Gross development
value.
What will it cost me to construct the development including site set up? Overall build cost.
Any additional construction costs? Infrastructure/site abnormals?
What additional obligations will I have to meet? S106/CIL/Affordable housing
How will I pay for this development work? Finance costs and cashflow impact
What costs will I have to pay to sell the units? Marketing and legal costs
How can I satisfy my shareholders? Developer’s return or overheads and profit.
What can I afford to pay for the land? Residual land value

The secret of viability testing
Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions Comparators Benchmarks
Do ( as much as you can) yourself !
![Page 11: Testing Viability Jayne Lomas 16 th October 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/568160d0550346895dd00488/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The overall price at which the developer calculates he can sell on the land and new buildings.
Ultimately the ‘fixed cake’ from which everything has to be paid.
For sales values look at local market evidence. Hometrack.
Sales values used should be forecast to the proposed sales period – could be several years
Look at sales rates and the impact this has on cashflow.

Income assumptions

Expenditure assumptions 1
The total cost of constructing the units
Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) from RICS– Definition
• ‘substructure & superstructure but not infrastructure’ • ‘back to the pavement but no further’
– Limitations • sample size, • Build scale
Volume house building – Cost efficiencies of a standard product ?– Supply chain benefits
Quality standards - Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) & Zero Carbon, Life time homes
Contingency????
Unit Build costs

Expenditure assumptions 2
Prelims and site set up – depends on length of contract External works Infrastructure Abnormals (for the type of scheme….) Design fees Finance fees Marketing costs and incentives Overheads and profit

Expenditure assumptions 3
S106 CIL Affordable Housing – tenure mix, numbers
Regulatory burden?

HCA : Our Viability tools
Designed to be neutral, open and transparent Available free from our website No ongoing license fees Guidance online Specific support available via email helpdesk

![Page 16: Testing Viability Jayne Lomas 16 th October 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/568160d0550346895dd00488/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HCA : Area wide viability model
A transparent, independent tool The AWVM is simple and can be used for consultation
events Can be used for plan making purposes over many years Can be used throughout changes in teams/consultants Land value is calculated as one of the outputs and is not
an input derived by the land owner or others. It will ‘goalseek’ to find the viable level of Affordable
Housing given the assumptions made
![Page 17: Testing Viability Jayne Lomas 16 th October 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/568160d0550346895dd00488/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HCA : Development appraisal tool
Site specific viability tool (DAT) Residual value model Based on assumptions Advice on sourcing robust input
data Allows benchmarking between
bids and sites. Derivations for deferred receipt
– Build Now Pay later

HCA : ATLAS
Specialist support on larger sites (ATLAS) Usually at the request of the LPA Housing led development sites +500 units Mixed use complex schemes Any stage of delivery Linked to a site or delivery proposal Non – project support
