    Commercial Property Purchase through SIPP

    Does anyone on here have any real life experience of any of the SIPPs on the market that allow commercial property purchase ?

    Buy IUKP ETF and you will have simple exposure to commercial property in UK.

      No experience but I was looking at the modular iSIPP product from James Hay Partnership. It's got modules which allows you to invest in different things above and beyond the basics. One of those is commercial property.

      https://www.jameshay.co.uk/modular-i...lar-isipp-inv/

      It's a bit of a faff to get detailed information but have a look at the literature section below and pick the Commercial Property section further down.

      I decided to not go down this route and stick to a fairly standard provider so can't comment any further than the links. My IFA deals with these guys so if you want their contact details I can PM them.

      EDIT : Forgot to add... you ******* ******er.

        What benefits investing into physical property? - it is illiquid. You could invest in one of many fund designed to invest into property.

          Thanks chaps. Don't want to invest in funds based on commercial property. I actually want to use it to buy commercial property to be rented then sold off in 10 years or so.

            Another option worth considering is a SSAS pension (Small Self Administered Scheme). SSAS often have more flexibility than SIPPs and can be used to buy commercial property.

              Just taking a look at this now and was going to speak to a broker.

              You made any progress TM?

                Variation on the same theme

                I was toying with that idea so I could run a bigger flock of rare breeds but since Karens illness we are going to sell our small holding and retire earlier

                I agree with the above comment a SSAS may be a better vehicle

                  Not really. Spent a bit of time fannying around reading the conditions for the SIPPs that claim to allow it, but ended up getting sick to death of trying to make sense of the rules/restrictions/caveats etc. Should really speak to an IFA but don't really like any that I've met so far TBH. I've never yet found anyone on any forum that actually has experience of doing this, despite it seeming (on the surface) like a simple and sensible thing to do.

                  I kinda only wanted to do it to save paying rent to a landlord for a premises I'm currently leasing, but the numbers are so small its probably not worth the wear and tear on my brain.

                    I read that back when I was looking at this before. Most of the info online is about cases like this with additional borrowing. All I want to do is transfer money into a SASS from a SIPP and buy a business premises with it, and pay the rent back into the SASS, selling the premises when I'm finished with it.
