Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Sites suitable for phased delivery

Joint ventures can be structured in different ways, from a land price plus a share of profit to a full partnership. We'll explain each so you can choose with your advisers.

The terms that matter

Risk

You share in downside as well as upside, so independent advice is essential.

Control

Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Tax

Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

What England's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Tax on the sale

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You're not sure you can afford to wait

Many structures pay part of the land value up front, with the rest as homes sell.

You're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode

Questions from landowners near Aylesbury

Is a joint venture better than selling?

It can pay more, but you wait longer and share the risk. It suits some owners and not others.

What happens if the homes sell for less than expected?

Depending on the structure, your share may fall. That's the risk you take in return for sharing upside.

Can a joint venture include affordable homes?

Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.
