Where Wallington sits

From Wallington, it's 1 mile to Carshalton and 2 miles to Sutton. We buy land across that whole stretch of Greater London, not only within the town.

Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.

Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
  • 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.

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.

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.

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 Wallington?

Yes. Villages between Wallington, Carshalton and Sutton often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
