Rowanmoor Pensions publishes commercial property guide for SSAS and Family Pension Trust investments
18 October 2011
Rowanmoor Pensions, the UK’s largest independent Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) provider and a bespoke Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) and Family Pension Trust operator, has published its latest Commercial Property Guide aimed at customers who invest, or who are looking to invest, in commercial property as part of their SSAS and Family Pension Trust (Family SIPP) portfolio.
The guide provides information on the essentials that investors need to know, including what type of property can and cannot be included, how to fund a property purchase and how to take control of the ongoing management of the property.
Ian Hammond, Managing Director of Rowanmoor Pensions, said: “If you get it right, commercial property can be an attractive investment, satisfying the potential for capital growth whilst providing a regular income. There is no one-size-fits-all solution; people really do need to understand what they are doing. In addition to more obvious commercial property or land, schemes can invest in care homes, prisons, hotels, pubs, woodland, agricultural fields and hotel rooms. The mechanics of organising the purchase itself can be a complex procedure and there can be some pitfalls; this guide aims to point out these dangers and make the whole process as straightforward as possible.”
The Rowanmoor Pensions SSAS and Family Pension Trust are designed to offer full flexibility when choosing assets for investment and scheme members can group together to purchase assets, including commercial property. For those considering joining up with others for a property purchase through a group of SIPPs, it may be worth considering a Family Pension Trust.
Rowanmoor Pensions also offers a Commercial Property Guide for its SIPP customers.
