Questions from landowners near Humberstone
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.
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.
