Joint ventures on land in Sutton-in-Ashfield
If you own land near Sutton-in-Ashfield, 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.

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.
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.
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 Sutton-in-Ashfield?
Yes. We consider land in and around Sutton-in-Ashfield and across Nottinghamshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
