Joint ventures on land in East Dereham

Is a land joint venture right for your land?
- 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
- Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
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
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.

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