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 with planning permission or a strong prospect
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
If you'd like to see your land become homes, and stay involved while it happens, a joint venture may suit you.
The terms that matter
Structure
Land price plus profit share, a partnership or a company: each has different tax and legal effects.
Control
Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.
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.

Rules that apply in England
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Merseyside?
Yes. We consider land across Merseyside, from Liverpool to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
