Joint ventures on land in Cwmbran

For owners in Cwmbran and the NP44 area, a land joint venture is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Clear terms in writing

Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • 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.

What to check in a land joint venture

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.

Tax

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

How a sale works

  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 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

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Cwmbran

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 need separate advice?

Yes. You should have your own solicitor and tax adviser before entering a joint venture.

Do you buy land in Cwmbran?

Yes. We consider land in and around Cwmbran and across Gwent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
