Joint ventures on land in Newcastle upon Tyne
We offer a land joint venture on land across Tyne and Wear, including sites around Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Gosforth.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Clear terms in writing

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.
