Joint ventures on land in Bournemouth

We offer a land joint venture on land across Dorset, including sites around Bournemouth, Christchurch and Canford Heath.

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
  • No pressure to decide
  • Clear terms in writing

When a land joint venture suits land near Bournemouth

  • 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

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.

What to check in a land joint venture

Structure

Land price plus profit share, a partnership or a company: each has different tax and legal effects.

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.

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.

Awkward details we deal with

You're worried about the risk

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

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about a land joint venture

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.

Do I need separate advice?

Yes. You should have your own solicitor and tax adviser before entering a joint venture.
