How to start a joint venture on your land
A five-step path from initial information to monitored obligations. Funding, approvals, construction and sales responsibilities are negotiated and documented for each project.
- 1
Share your land details
Submit the plot location, survey details and approximate size for a preliminary desk review. Any title, zoning or FSI conclusion requires verification.
- 2
Decide whether a site visit is needed
Where useful and mutually agreed, inspect access, boundaries and physical conditions before defining the formal scope.
- 3
Review the evidence and scenarios
Compare sanctionable-area, value, cost, timeline and risk assumptions. No universal share range or fixed response time applies.
- 4
Negotiate project-specific documents
Record responsibilities, allocation, costs, milestones, remedies and RERA compliance where applicable. Obtain independent professional advice before signing.
- 5
Monitor the signed obligations
Track the evidence, approvals, construction milestones and allocation required by the final documents.
Frequently asked
Who owns the land during construction?+
You do. The JV agreement grants development rights only. Land title stays with you until unit-wise registration.
What if the builder delays?+
Available remedies depend on the signed milestones, notice and cure periods, termination terms and any applicable law. No universal penalty or escrow arrangement is promised.
Do I have to pay any money upfront?+
Funding responsibility is negotiated. Construction may be builder-funded, while taxes, duties, independent advice and owner-specific costs must be itemised.
Can I sell my share later?+
Yes. Once units are registered in your name, they're freely transferable.

Frequently asked questions
What are the steps of a JV assessment?
Submit land details, complete a preliminary desk review, arrange a site visit where useful, verify title and planning inputs, compare documented scenarios, and negotiate project-specific terms. A formal proposal follows only after the required evidence and scope are agreed.
What documents may be needed to start a JV review?
Common inputs include current title and parent documents, encumbrance records, patta or equivalent land records, survey details, planning documents if available, and identity evidence for title-holders. The exact list depends on the property and jurisdiction.
Who pays for RERA registration and approvals?
Responsibility for approvals, project-level RERA registration where applicable, professional work, taxes and marketing must be allocated in the negotiated documents. Do not assume one party pays every cost.
Can I sell my share of flats separately?
Yes. After the division of the built-up area, your share is registered in your name and you can sell, rent or hold independently. Property Builder can also market them for you.
What happens if the builder delays the project?
The signed documents should state milestones, notice and cure periods, evidence requirements and remedies. RERA remedies may apply to a registered project, but no universal penalty or compensation amount applies.
