Joint ventures on land in Falmouth

When a land joint venture suits land near Falmouth
- Landowners who want a share in development profit
- Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
- Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
Some landowners want more than a price. A joint venture lets you share in the value of the finished homes, in return for waiting and accepting some risk.
The terms that matter
Structure
Land price plus profit share, a partnership or a company: each has different tax and legal effects.
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Control
Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Planning and legal points for land in Cornwall
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.
