SIPP property investment advice - UK and overseas property

Investment experts to give you the help and information you need to guide you through your options. They will assess your current funds and then deal with transferring any “frozen” pensions from previous employment, businesses and/or funds from other personal pensions. All you have to do is select the property you want in your pension fund. You can also “club” together with other investors to jointly purchase one, or several, of our properties.

Contributions into a SIPP attract relief at an individual’s highest rate of tax. If a higher rate taxpayer wished to invest £100,000, it would only cost them £60,000 after receiving all of their tax relief.

A SIPP is also able to borrow money against its assets. As much as 50% of the net value of a SIPP can be borrowed to increase the funds for your property investment. So, as an example, a fund that has a value of £150,000 can be increased by 50% or £75,000 to make a total fund of £225,000 available to invest in property.

Dunas Beach Resort - Cape Verde

Cape Verde - the new global property and holiday hotspot
Cape Verde is widely recognised among international developers as the new global property and holiday hotspot, and a star investment opportunity.

An enchanting archipelago of ten tropical islands, each with its own individual character and charm, Cape Verde lies in the Atlantic Ocean 450km west of Senegal on the African coast, and 1000km south of the Canary Islands.

Beautiful white sandy beaches. Stunning scenery. An unspoilt, pristine environment. Fascinating local restaurants. Year-round sunshine. A dry, temperate climate of between 22-30ºC that's even more consistent than the Canaries. Cape Verde has it all. Even better, it's just five and a half hours by direct flight from the UK, and only one hour behind GMT. So it's not surprising that Cape Verde is fast becoming the Caribbean for Europe - minus the jet lag.

The local government of the Republic of Cape Verde is very supportive of foreign investment, and is assisting a rapidly developing tourist industry. The local currency - the Cape Verde Escudo (CVE) - also provides the stability of being fixed to the Euro. Euros are also widely accepted in Cape Verde.

So with fast and convenient access, and all the attractions of a unique tropical paradise, Cape Verde offers unparalleled potential as an investment opportunity for growth, rental or resale.
