At Suffolk Life, we're proud to say we're property experts. We specialise in commercial property acquisition and management and at July 2011 we own over 2,200 properties for 4,000 investors.

We've purchased a variety of different properties on behalf of investors, ranging from office blocks and warehouses to gymnasiums and zoos.

So, why property?

There are many reasons why one may want to purchase a property via a Suffolk Life MasterSIPP:

• Purchasing business premises - joint purchase is also available
• Benefitting from tax advantages through having a property owned by a pension
• Releasing cash by 'selling' part or all of the property to the SIPP 
• Succession planning (handing the property to someone else) is made easier, so long as both parties have Suffolk Life MasterSIPPs
• The SIPP can borrow up to 50% of its net fund value to go towards property purchase
• Transfer - an investor may even already own a property by another pension and wish to transfer to Suffolk Life to benefit from our expertise, flexibility and our 'personal touch'.

Support

We like to think we conduct our business the right way, and we understand it is our investors and advisers who drive our business forward. To provide them with the best information, we have devised the Property pack: a folder kitted out with our brand new Property Guide, applications forms and all the other literature you may need.

The pack is suitable for clients and contains details of everything property-related, from the acquisition and management to borrowing or joint purchasing. It also includes a handy timeline to direct you through the process of commercial property investment. To request a pack, please click on the Property Guide on the right. Otherwise it can be downloaded here.

We will do everything possible to support each acquisition proposition, and even though our SIPPs generally need to be introduced by an IFA, we can also deal directly with other professionals to handle property purchase. We don't operate a tick box policy here; if a tick doesn't fit the box, we will try to change the box.
