Is this a practical proposition?
The value is likely to be below the stamp duty limit so minimal cost on transfer.

No, as residential property isn't allowed in SIPPs.
(If you want to be pedantic, it's allowed if you pay heavy tax penalties, but in reality I don't think any SIPP provider would allow you to do it.)0 -
Many thank for the quick reply.
Is this still the case where the property is held in a Ltd company?
What are these 'heavy tax penalties'?0 -

If the property is held in a Ltd company, then it wont be held in a pension.
'Heavy tax penalties' are between 70% and 95% of the property value.

The penalties in question are the unauthorised payment charges:

In summary, 40% charge on the balance of the investment, plus a further 25% scheme sanction charge and potentially a further still 15% surcharge.
In short, you wouldn't want to risk it!I am a Chartered Financial Planner

AIUI, if the property is held in a limited company you pay corporation tax on net rental income and capital gains, then there's the 15% stamp duty if the property is worth more than £500,000. So before we get to the issue of whether any provider will accept shares in the limited company, why's the property in the limited company?0
