Joint ventures on land in Prestwich
We offer a land joint venture on land across Greater Manchester, including sites around Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe.
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 commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide
- Clear terms in writing

When a land joint venture suits land near Prestwich
- 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
- 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
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.
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.

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 questions
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.
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.
