Joint ventures on land in Chepstow

If you own land near Chepstow, you may be wondering whether a land joint venture would suit you. The answer depends on your land's planning prospects and how soon you want to be paid.

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.

What to check in a land joint venture

Risk

Control

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

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Tax

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

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Tax on the sale

In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. Take advice from an accountant.

Awkward details we deal with

What people ask us about a land joint venture

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.

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.
