Risk

You share in downside as well as upside, so independent advice is essential.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Planning and legal points for land in Essex

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.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

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.

Do you buy land in South Ockendon?

Yes. We consider land in and around South Ockendon and across Essex. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
