  • 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.

The terms that matter

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.

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. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

Rules that apply in England

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're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

Do I need separate advice?

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