How the money works

Risk

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

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Tax

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

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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 not sure you can afford to wait

Many structures pay part of the land value up front, with the rest as homes sell.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Questions from landowners near Acton

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 need separate advice?

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

Do you buy land in Acton?

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