Joint ventures on land in Bicester
We offer a land joint venture on land across Oxfordshire, including sites around Bicester, Kidlington and Brackley.
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
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- No pressure to decide

What to check in a land joint venture
Structure

Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Control
Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.
Land value
How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Rules that apply in England
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
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
Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Questions from landowners near Bicester
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 Bicester?
Yes. Villages between Bicester, Kidlington and Brackley often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
