Joint ventures on land in Bushey

Before you agree a land joint venture on land near Bushey, it helps to know exactly when you'd be paid, who carries the planning risk and how the price is set.

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
  • Independent advice encouraged

Is a land joint venture right for your land?

  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • 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.

How the money works

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Hertfordshire

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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 rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Bushey

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.

What happens if the homes sell for less than expected?

Depending on the structure, your share may fall. That's the risk you take in return for sharing upside.

Do you buy land in Bushey?

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