  • Sites suitable for phased delivery

Joint ventures can be structured in different ways, from a land price plus a share of profit to a full partnership. We'll explain each so you can choose with your advisers.

The terms that matter

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.

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Planning and legal points for land in Shropshire

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.

Awkward details we deal with

You're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell
