Who a land joint venture works best for

  • Sites where we'd aim to build the homes ourselves
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Owners comfortable sharing risk as well as reward
  • Sites suitable for phased delivery

Joint ventures can be structured in different ways, from a land price plus a share of profit to a full partnership. We'll explain each so you can choose with your advisers.

The terms that matter

Risk

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

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.

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.

Questions from landowners near Trowbridge

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.

Can a joint venture include affordable homes?

Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.

Do you cover the villages around Trowbridge?

Yes. Villages between Trowbridge, Westbury and Melksham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
