Joint ventures on land in Rugby

If you own land in or around Rugby, joint ventures is one of four ways you can sell it to us. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

Some landowners want more than a price. A joint venture lets you share in the value of the finished homes, in return for waiting and accepting some risk.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

Is a land joint venture right for your land?

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward

If you'd like to see your land become homes, and stay involved while it happens, a joint venture may suit you.

What to check in a land joint venture

Control

Agreements set who decides what, and what happens if you disagree.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Exit

Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Tax

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

What happens next

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What England's rules mean for your land

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 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.

What people ask us about a land joint venture

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Rugby?

Yes. Villages between Rugby, Daventry and Coventry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
