The terms that matter

Risk

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

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

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

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

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.

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're worried about the risk

You can limit risk through the structure, but not remove it. Take independent advice.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

Do I have to put money in?

Not usually. Your contribution is normally the land itself.

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.
