Exit
Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Rules that apply in England

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

Common questions
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 Batley?
Yes. Villages between Batley, Dewsbury and Ossett often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
