GDV working band

Resale GDV 360 to 600 £/sqft (low to high). Mid 440 £/sqft. Sense-check against current Land Registry Price Paid postcode-area aggregates before committing a bid.

Bristol pulls the average up; Cornwall second-home premium adds tail risk.

Cornwall second-home premium policy

  • Cornwall Council's second-home council tax premium (200 percent from 1 Apr 2025) hits resale velocity in PL postcodes.
  • Apply a velocity haircut (extra 3 to 6 months on the sales period) when modelling Cornwall self-builds.
  • Bristol BS postcodes are unaffected and continue to anchor SW GDV upside.

Small-sites threshold

  • Most SW local plans set the small-sites threshold at 10 dwellings net additions.
  • BNG exemption below the threshold expires; check the latest local plan.
