Joint ventures on land in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Before you agree a land joint venture on land near Royal Tunbridge Wells, 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.
