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.
How the money works
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Land value
How your land is valued going into the venture matters.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.
Tax
Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

Rules that apply in England
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.

What people ask us about a land joint venture
What is a land joint venture?
An agreement where you contribute land and we contribute funding, planning and construction, with proceeds shared on agreed terms.
Do I have to put money in?
Not usually. Your contribution is normally the land itself.
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.
