When a land joint venture suits land in Staffordshire
- Landowners who want a share in development profit
- Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
- Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
- Sites suitable for phased delivery
- Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme
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.
Timing
Returns arrive as homes sell, which can take years.
Land value
How your land is valued going into the venture matters.
Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Planning and legal points for land in Staffordshire
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 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.

Common questions
Do I have to put money in?
Not usually. Your contribution is normally the land itself.
Do I need separate advice?
Yes. You should have your own solicitor and tax adviser before entering a joint venture.
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 Staffordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Staffordshire, from Stoke-on-Trent to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
