Joint ventures on land in Heavitree
For owners in Heavitree and the EX2 area, a land joint venture is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.
A land joint venture is an arrangement where the landowner contributes the land and a developer contributes funding, planning and building, with the proceeds shared in an agreed way. It can produce the most value for the landowner, but it takes longer and carries more risk than a sale.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

When a land joint venture suits land near Heavitree
- Landowners who want a share in development profit
- Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
- Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme
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.
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.

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.
