Joint Ventures

Joint ventures are often adopted as a means of sharing risks in property development and we are specialists in making these sorts of collaborations work for both parties. Each party will of course contribute something different but usually the landowner would be providing the site and the developer providing the expertise to maximise the return on that site or property.

It is a way that you [as the land owner] may be able to tap into our greater or more specialised expertise and resources including financial, technical and marketing skills. The potential benefits may be obvious but can often be difficult to achieve without a clear-cut strategy, mutually understood objectives, thorough documentation and commitment from all involved.

London View has long understood that for a joint venture to be successful it must recognise the needs of both parties. Our philosophy is that it is better to ensure the rewards are shared out amongst the parties who are then all aligned with the same goal and outcome. There are, of course, many ways a joint venture can be structured. At the simple end it could be an option style agreement whereby London View take certain option rights to the land/property with the aim of maximising its enhanced value through planning and sharing that uplift with the landowner. The opposite end of the scale is a full joint venture including both finance, costs and resultant profits.
