Joint ventures on land in Barry
If you own land near Barry, 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.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Tax on the sale
In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. Take advice from an accountant.
Awkward details we deal with
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're worried about the risk
You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.
