Buying property as part of pension

Dammam

I heard that with new pension laws coming out next year, you will be able to purchase property and add it to your pension portfolio.
Now, I have absolutely NO idea when it comes to pensions so can someone enlighten me? Does it mean that I can use my pension funds to buy a holiday property, use it myself and rent it out over the next 20 years, then sell it when I want to retire?

All sounds too perfect to me,

No it isn't perfect. In fact I think that the estate agents who are desperately clinging to this change in order to shore up the slowing housing market are going to be somewhat disappointed at the take up.
