Speak to us today and get an honest view on whether your position works. Our team handles sourcing, due diligence, refurbishment, and exit, with every contribution and share documented before the project starts. We buy, refurbish and sell property week in and week out, and we partner with investors on projects we would take on ourselves. We will tell you within 24 hours whether we can put something in front of you.

We invest our own money too

Terms agreed before funds move

Bring the Funding or Bring the Deal

Property rewards two things above all else, access to opportunities and capacity to act on them. Very few people hold both at the same moment. A joint venture closes that gap by pairing the two sides on one specific project, for a fixed period, on terms both parties sign up to in advance. It is a commercial partnership rather than an investment product, which is exactly why the paperwork carries so much weight.

If you are bringing capital

You see the full opportunity before committing, with every cost and assumption laid out.
Your funds go into one identified project rather than a general pot.
Your solicitor reviews the agreement and registers your interest correctly.
We put our own money into projects alongside you, so we share the risk.

If you are bringing the deal

We assess the numbers honestly and tell you quickly if the project stacks up.
Refurbishment scheduling, trades and cost control can be run by our team.
Funding conversations happen against a documented project rather than a rough idea.
You keep a defined share of the outcome rather than being paid a one off finder fee.

From First Call to Completed Project

The order matters as much as the detail. Nothing moves forward until both parties understand the project fully and both solicitors have had their say.

Scope the Partnership

We establish what each side is contributing, what you want out of it and how long you are comfortable having capital committed.

Review the Numbers

Purchase price, refurbishment schedule, holding costs, finance costs and projected exit, presented openly alongside what happens if values soften.

Paper the Agreement

Solicitors on both sides draft and review the joint venture agreement, covering ownership, contributions, decision rights and the exit.

Execute and Report

We deliver the project on the ground and update you at set intervals, through to sale, refinance or letting.

Working With Pennine Investments as a JV Partner

We purchase with our own funds as a principal buyer, which means property transactions are our core business rather than a sideline to raising money from others. Because sellers approach us directly for fast private sales, opportunities reach us before they reach the open market. Landlords exiting the sector, executors handling probate property, owners of tenanted stock and vendors needing certainty over price all come to us first. That pipeline is where most of our partnership projects begin.

We take on residential purchases, refurbishment schemes, tenanted buy-to-lets and small portfolio acquisitions. We consider larger development work on its merits and on a case-by-case basis. Partners range from people placing capital into property for the first time through to experienced landlords and business owners who want exposure without running the project themselves.

The Groundwork Behind Every Sound Partnership

Joint ventures fail far more often because of vague arrangements than because of bad property. These points need to be settled on paper before anyone commits.

Choosing a Structure

Projects are commonly held through a special purpose vehicle, a limited company shared between the parties, or a contractual arrangement supported by a declaration of trust.

Recording Ownership Properly

Where funds are advanced without the lender appearing on the title, a restriction can be entered at the Land Registry so the property cannot be sold or charged without that party’s consent.

Defining Each Contribution

Capital, deal origination, refurbishment management and ongoing oversight all carry value. Stating what each party provides, and what each receives in return, prevents the argument that tends to arrive at the end.

Agreeing the Split and the Timing

The division of proceeds should be settled at the start, along with whether capital is returned first, when payments are made, and how costs are treated if they exceed the original budget.

Planning the Exit Before You Enter

Sale, refinance or retain. Each has a different timescale and a different tax position. The agreement should also address what happens if the project runs long or either party needs out early.

Checking the Regulatory Position

Where funds are pooled from multiple parties or where one side is entirely passive, an arrangement can fall within UK financial services regulation.

What Makes Our Partnerships Different

Plenty of operators in this space have completed a handful of transactions and market themselves heavily. Our track record comes from a business that buys, refurbishes, lets and sells property week in and week out, and partners are welcome to ask exactly what we have done and where.

We share figures in full rather than summarised. You receive the purchase price, the cost schedule, the finance assumptions, the projected gross development value or rental figure, and a downside case showing the position if the market moves against us. Any project that only works on a best case scenario is one we would decline ourselves.

Independent legal representation is a condition of working with us, not an option. If any operator ever discourages you from instructing your own solicitor, treat it as a reason to walk away. Reporting happens on a schedule you agree at the outset. You should never have to chase for an update on where your money currently sits.

Let Us Talk Through Your Position

Whether you hold capital and want it working in property, or you have found a project and need a partner with capacity to deliver it, we are open to the conversation. Nothing is committed at this stage and there is no cost to talking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a joint venture in property?

Two or more parties pooling resources on one defined project, with contributions, responsibilities and the division of proceeds agreed in writing before work begins.

Do I need experience to be a JV partner?

Not if you are contributing capital, since the delivery sits with us. You do need your own solicitor and accountant reviewing the arrangement.

How much capital is typically involved?

It varies by project size and strategy. Speak to us about your position and we will be straightforward about what it opens up.

Who holds legal title to the property?

That depends on the structure chosen. Whichever route is used, your interest should be protected on the title or through the company shareholding.

What if the project overruns?

Overruns are covered within the agreement, including how additional costs are met and how extended timescales affect the split.
