Glossary Of Terms

How Much Profit?

 

As a general rule Property Developers look for 20% of profit, some developers work on costs and others on the end value. So if you spent £200k and you want £40k on costs the end value of the property needs to be £240,000 giving a profit of £40,000 if you are working on 20% of the end value then you would want 20% of £240,000 giving a profit of £48,000, when you apply for property development finance you will have to take this into account, also many lenders now look for at least 25% profit margin.
