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.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

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.
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.

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.
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 cover the villages around Yarm?
Yes. Villages between Yarm, Thornaby-on-Tees and Stockton-on-Tees often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
