Joint ventures on land in New Milton

Choosing how to sell matters as much as choosing who to sell to. For land near New Milton, a land joint venture trades certainty and timing in a particular way.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

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

What people ask us about a land joint venture

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.
