Where Denton sits

Denton (M34) sits in OS grid square SJ99, some 5 miles east of Manchester. Sites between here and Hyde or Droylsden are just as much of interest to us.

A dense urban core where most new homes are on brownfield land, with green belt on the edges climbing towards the Pennines.

Is a land joint venture right for your land?

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
  • Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme

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.

What to check in a land joint venture

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.

What happens next

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

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

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

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 want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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 Denton?

Yes. We consider land in and around Denton 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.
