Joint ventures on land in Blyth
If you own land near Blyth, you may be wondering whether a land joint venture would suit you. The answer depends on your land's planning prospects and how soon you want to be paid.
A land joint venture is an arrangement where the landowner contributes the land and a developer contributes funding, planning and building, with the proceeds shared in an agreed way. It can produce the most value for the landowner, but it takes longer and carries more risk than a sale.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide
- Independent advice encouraged

Planning and legal points for land in Northumberland
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 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

An agreement where you contribute land and we contribute funding, planning and construction, with proceeds shared on agreed terms.

Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.
