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.

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.

Questions from landowners near Ilford
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.
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.
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 buy land in Ilford?
Yes. We consider land in and around Ilford 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.
