Is a land joint venture right for your land?

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme

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.

Exit

Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Planning and legal points for land in Dorset

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 worried about the risk

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

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

What people ask us about a land joint venture

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.

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.

Can you visit land near Verwood?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
