So, I run a business from home selling things. Can I use my SIPP to buy my home? Would it be classed as a commerical property?!

one of the 'golden rules' on pensions is that you mustn't take a personal benefit from it before retirement, so for that reason property must be commercial and any element of residency eliminates it from viability in a SIPP.
There are some caveats, and the easiest example of this is a pub landlord who is allowed living quarters upstairs - but this also has a number of provisos.0
