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.

You're not sure you can afford to wait

Questions from landowners near Corby
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.
Do you buy land in Corby?
Yes. We consider land in and around Corby and across Northamptonshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
