Joint ventures on land in Deal

Before you agree a land joint venture on land near Deal, 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
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Sites suitable for phased delivery
  • 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.

The terms that matter

Structure

Land price plus profit share, a partnership or a company: each has different tax and legal effects.

Risk

You share in downside as well as upside, so independent advice is essential.

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.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

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.
