Joint ventures on land in New Malden

Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near New Malden, a land joint venture trades certainty and timing in a particular way.

A land joint venture is an arrangement where the landowner contributes the land and a developer contributes funding, planning and building, with the proceeds shared in an agreed way. It can produce the most value for the landowner, but it takes longer and carries more risk than a sale.

  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged
  • Clear terms in writing

What to check in a land joint venture

Risk

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

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Control

Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.

Tax

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

How a sale works

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Common questions

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 I need separate advice?

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

Do you cover the villages around New Malden?

Yes. Villages between New Malden, Surbiton and Morden often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
