Carol Mann Sales director SIPPS - Residential Property and Pensions It is now possible to purchase residential property in both the UK and overseas utilizing a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) as long as completion does not take place before 6th April 2006. This means that your pension can buy property off plan today. The main requirements are as follows: The property must satisfy the lawyers and trustees in respect of due diligence ie the property or development must satisfy the necessary legal requirements such as planning permission, legal title, building licenses etc If let, the property should be managed by a professional letting and/or management company For property located in the UK, the income (rent) received will be free of income tax, and on the future sale of the property there will be no capital gains tax on the profit. For property located overseas, the tax position is yet to be fully clarified, but it is anticipated that there will be an element of income and capital gains tax that cannot be reclaimed if the purchase is overseas and that countrys tax regime dictates that income and capital gains tax is chargeable on investment property. The precise position in relation to taxation will be clarified later this year. Your SIPP will be able to borrow up to 50% of the total fund to assist with a property purchase. However, most trustees will require absolute certainty that the monies will be available in your pension fund at completion. This could be in the form of an unconditional mortgage offer at the time of paying the deposit, or a certainty that you or your company will make a contribution in the next tax year (when contribution limits and subsequent tax relief is greater than in the current tax year). It is also possible for individuals to collectively purchase property with other individuals pension funds. This syndication is straightforward and enables people who have smaller pension funds to pool resources. Some practical points if you dont already have all your funds in the right type of SIPP: You may have several pension schemes with a number of different insurers. Before you can consider a property purchase, you will need to transfer some or all of your pension funds to a SIPP with a company who have confirmed that they will allow you buy residential property now. In order to avoid any delay, and ensure that you buy your chosen property at the best possible price, it is possible for you to pay a reservation fee and initial deposit(s) from your own resources, and the property to be purchased from you, by your pension after April 2006. This will enable you and your adviser time to affect the necessary transfers to the SIPP to ensure that funds are available before completion. You will of course need to ensure that you will have sufficient monies in order to complete the transaction and cover all anticipated costs. Please ask us for further details if required. When the pension purchases the contract from you, this may create a chargeable event (we anticipate that the property will have increased in value between now and next April) and hence you may be liable for capital gains tax. This could be an opportunity for you to realize gains within your annual CGT exemption. For example, a purchase at one of our golf resorts would currently cost approximately £125,000. Assuming that prices increased by 6% between now and April 2006, the market value would be £132,500 and this is the price that the pension would have to pay. This would create a taxable gain of £7,500 which is within the annual exemption and would be tax free (assuming that you have made no other gains in the current tax year). If you purchase the property jointly, you could make gains of up to £17,000 without paying any capital gains tax. This gain could be invested in your pension in the next tax year (as a contribution), and enjoy tax relief. For a basic rate taxpayer, this would gross up to £9,615 and for a higher rate tax payer, £12,500. Hence, by acting now, you could effectively fund around 10% of the purchase price with some simple yet legitimate tax planning. If you have high earnings, paying tax at 40% (and available capital now), rather than paying £125,000 for a property, you could, through pension contributions post April 2006, pay as little as £67,500 for a property purchased today at £125,000 by a combination of the above, and the higher rate relief available on your post A day contribution. This equates to an immediate gain of 54%. You need to accept that the actual structure of the purchase and precise taxation implications have yet to be clarified for overseas property. It is confirmed however, that the purchase can take place, provided the property is deemed by the trustee to be suitable. Syndication We believe that there will be a great demand for collective property purchase, for people who want to combine a sound financial investment with the ability to use a property abroad for occasional personal use, but dont have sufficient funds in their own plans. For an additional fee, you can syndicate with other people to jointly own property and pool your resources. These other people could be family members, friends or colleagues. Because of the charges and other practical implications, we anticipate that this will be available to people who have a minimum fund value of around £25,000. Beneficiaries on death do not have to be the other syndicated owners, but the relevant documentation needs to be in place to deal with things like retirement and death in much the same way as company directors effect a shareholders agreement to clarify these issues.

Whether buying real property to start or relocate a new business, or solely for investment purposes, you can take certain steps to protect your investment. Together, a title insurance policy and survey can protect you from many of the risks. Title Insurance A title insurance policy insures the status of the title to a parcel of real property. Simply put, title means the formal right of ownership of property. While most insurance policies insure against unforeseen future risks, title insurance insures against possible defects in title based on events that have already happened. A title insurance policy may be an owners policy, issued to the purchaser of real property, or a lenders policy, issued in favor of the lender that finances the purchase. An owners policy provides for reimbursement of damages suffered by an owner as a result of title being different than that stated in the title insurance policy. Reimbursement is available up to the stated amount of the title insurance policy. Title insurance also covers attorneys fees and other costs of any covered claim. A lender financing a real property purchase almost always will require the purchaser to obtain and pay for a lenders policy of title insurance. Among other things, a lenders policy insures the lender has a valid, enforceable lien on the purchased property, and that the lien has priority over any other lien. A lenders policy should not be relied upon to protect the purchaser in case of a title defect. Most standard real estate purchase agreements require the seller to pay for and provide the purchaser with a commitment from a title insurance company to provide title insurance. The preparation of that commitment involves a search of the public records to determine the status of title. This process can take a title company a few days or a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the propertys title history. A title insurance commitment is the insurers proposal regarding the terms of the policy. To some extent, these terms are negotiable. The commitment includes the legal description of the property, its fee owner, the proposed insured party, and any exclusions from coverage. A title insurance commitment typically excludes coverage for liens, easements, or mortgages already recorded in the public records, as well as any facts - such as encroachments and roadways - that would be revealed by a survey. The purchaser, rather than the seller, typically pays the one-time premium for an owners policy. This responsibility may be negotiated between the parties. The premium is based on the purchase price. An owners title insurance policy provides coverage throughout the insureds ownership of the property. If it later is conveyed by warranty deed, coverage continues (for the insured party, not to the new buyer) even after the property is conveyed. Survey A property survey is the process by which a parcel of land is measured, and its boundaries and contents ascertained and mapped. The finished product of a survey most often is a scaled drawing that illustrates locations of buildings, fences, streets and other improvements in relation to property lines. A survey assists the parties to a real estate transaction in understanding exactly the property included in the transaction. In Wisconsin, only a professional land surveyor licensed by the states Department of Regulation & Licensing may perform a survey. The cost depends on the characteristics of the area to be surveyed, including the parcel size and level of detail required by the transaction. From the buyers perspective, the purchase agreement should make the obligation to purchase contingent upon an A.L.T.A.(American Land Title Association) survey by a registered land surveyor, with the results acceptable to the purchaser. The purchase agreement also should state who will pay for the survey. It should be ordered early in the purchasing process to allow sufficient time for completion. Obtaining the survey early also will leave time to deal with title defects or other issues the survey may reveal. To remove the title insurance policy exclusion regarding facts ascertainable by a survey, a recent survey performed by a registered land surveyor must be presented to the title insurer, along with the surveyors certificate of no encroachments. An encroachment occurs when a building or other improvement to a parcel of real estate overlaps the boundary line and encroaches onto a neighboring land parcel, or when a neighboring improvement overlaps onto the insured property. Therefore, unless a survey is obtained and the survey exclusion is deleted, a title insurance policy alone does not protect a purchaser if an encroachment is later discovered. The title insurance commitment and survey should be examined by the purchasers attorney well in advance of closing to allow time to work out any title issues and to negotiate the terms of the title insurance policy. The bottom line: A comprehensive title insurance policy and survey protects the buyer from undiscovered title issues and minimizes risk in a real estate purchase.
