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
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
  • Land where affordable or social housing forms part of the scheme

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.

How the money works

Risk

You share in downside as well as upside, so independent advice is essential.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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.

Questions from landowners near Pontarddulais

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.

What happens if the homes sell for less than expected?

Depending on the structure, your share may fall. That's the risk you take in return for sharing upside.

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 Pontarddulais?

Yes. Villages between Pontarddulais, Gorseinon and Llanelli often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
