Is a land joint venture right for your land?
- Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
- Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
- Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
- Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme
If you'd like to see your land become homes, and stay involved while it happens, a joint venture may suit you.
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.
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.

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them

Common questions
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.
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 Northamptonshire?
Yes. We consider land across Northamptonshire, from Northampton to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
