Joint ventures on land in Strood

If you own land in or around Strood, joint ventures is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

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

Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • 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

Risk

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

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Kent

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 want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Your questions answered

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.

Can a joint venture include affordable homes?

Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.
