When a land joint venture suits land near Southend-on-Sea

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward

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.

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.

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Tax

Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

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

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Do I have to put money in?

Not usually. Your contribution is normally the land itself.
