Joint ventures on land in Ashton-under-Lyne

If you own land in or around Ashton-under-Lyne, joint ventures is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Clear terms in writing

Is a land joint venture right for your land?

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Sites suitable for phased delivery

Joint ventures can be structured in different ways, from a land price plus a share of profit to a full partnership. We'll explain each so you can choose with your advisers.

How the money works

Risk

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

Control

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

Exit

Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Tax

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

Common questions

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 buy land in Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. We consider land in and around Ashton-under-Lyne and across Greater Manchester. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
