- 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.
How the money works
Structure
Land price plus profit share, a partnership or a company: each has different tax and legal effects.
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Land value
How your land is valued going into the venture matters.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London
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.

Your questions answered
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.
Can a joint venture include affordable homes?
Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.
Do you cover the villages around Brixton?
Yes. Villages between Brixton, Peckham and Pimlico often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
