Joint ventures on land in Burnham-on-Sea

For owners in Burnham-on-Sea and the TA8 area, a land joint venture is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.

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
  • Clear terms in writing

The terms that matter

Timing

Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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.

Your questions answered

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.

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 have to put money in?

Not usually. Your contribution is normally the land itself.

Do you buy land in Burnham-on-Sea?

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