Who a land joint venture works best for
- Landowners who want a share in development profit
- Families and estates with a long-term view
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
- Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme
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.
The terms that matter
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.

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.
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 cover the villages around Barnes?
Yes. Villages between Barnes, Chiswick and Putney often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
