Overseas property investment using a SIPP

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Beach in Brazil

A SIPP is a Self-Invested Personal Pension for which UK residents, investing for retirement, decides what their pension fund is invested in. Traditionally pensions are managed by a pension fund manager who will decide where to invest the client’s funds. Investing via a SIPP can give the investor the flexibility to manage their own fund by choosing their investments.

The SIPP provides a wrapper and enables the holder to have a number of different investments to take as pension benefits when they retire. As with any pension fund, the investor cannot take money from the fund until age 55.

There are several SIPP approved overseas property resorts, allowing property investors to use their personal pensions to invest in an overseas property.

What type of investments can be included in a SIPP?

A variety of investments can be held within a SIPP, for example, commercial property, Government securities, stocks and shares and unit trusts.

Which overseas properties are considered suitable for SIPP investment?

Typically they are part of a hotel resort and therefore the property investment is classified as a commercial purchase under HMRC Guidelines.

Are there any exclusions when purchasing via a SIPP?

The property investor is not able to utilise the property for personal gain and is therefore not entitled to the 30 days free usage per year.

Where can I get advice on a SIPP?

Advice on a SIPP must be sought from a pension specialist working for a firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Funding your property investment with a SIPP – You can now use your pension funds to invest in an overseas property using a SIPP

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

A Self Invested Personal Pension, known as a SIPP, is a personal pension for which the person investing for retirement decides what their pension fund is invested in. Traditionally pensions are managed by a pension fund manager who may invest in volatile stocks and shares or boring old cash and the investor has no control or influence on this decision.

Any type of pension can be transferred into a SIPP. For instance, many people have several ‘frozen’ pensions from previous employment or businesses and/or personal pensions that they can transfer.

If an investor already has a SIPP, or once the SIPP has been set up, the investor selects the property they wish the SIPP Trustees to invest in. It is also possible to increase the amount of funds available in a SIPP by borrowing up to a further 50% of the value of the SIPP. For example if a SIPP has funds of £200,000, it can borrow another £100,000 making available £300,000 to invest.

An investor using a SIPP can make further contributions ongoing into their SIPP and is entitled to full tax relief which means that if a 40% tax payer paid in £100,000 it could only cost him £60,000.
