Over the past few years, Commercial Property has produced very impressive results for astute investors, proving to be a trusted investment in a tangible asset.

Many businesses also view rent as ‘dead’ money and prefer to put a roof over their heads that they own.  This gives them long term security, an investment in their future and, in some cases, reduces the cost of their monthly outgoings.

There may also be the option to sublet the property, either in whole or in part, contributing both an income and adding to the value of the building.

Finally, a SIPP (self invested personal pension scheme) can be used to invest in commercial property and remove income tax, VAT, capital gains and IHT liabilities – though you would be wise to seek professional advice before going ahead with this kind of scheme.

So, commercial property can give you security, a long term investment and significant tax advantages – and you may even be able to buy a complete business and start a new career.
