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
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme

Joint ventures can be structured in different ways, from a land price plus a share of profit to a full partnership. We'll explain each so you can choose with your advisers.

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.

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Control

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

Tax

Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

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

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares

  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

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.

Do I need separate advice?

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

Can you visit land near Thetford?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
