When a land joint venture suits land in Mid Glamorgan

  • 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
  • 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.

What to check in a land joint venture

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.

Control

Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Tax on the sale

In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. Take advice from an accountant.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

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.

Do I need separate advice?

Yes. You should have your own solicitor and tax adviser before entering a joint venture.

Do you buy land in Mid Glamorgan?

Yes. We consider land across Mid Glamorgan, from Rhondda to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
