Is a land joint venture right for your land?

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.
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Planning and legal points for land in Gloucestershire
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 not sure you can afford to wait
Many structures pay part of the land value up front, with the rest as homes sell.
You're worried about the risk
You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

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.
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.
Do you buy land in Gloucestershire?
Yes. We consider land across Gloucestershire, from Gloucester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
