How to buy a £90,000 home in France

for only £21,000 and pay for it in 11 years

 

This  assumes that the investor is a higher rate tax payer

The investor contributes £36,000 to a SIPP

Government contribution £24,000

Total investment by SIPP of £60,000

Borrow 50% of SIPP fund

Total property purchase of £90,000

After 6 months reclaim the VAT

This will be £15,000 in cash back to the pension fund*

(* Subject to approval)

Therefore the actual investment is £36,000 - £15,000 = £21,000

Also property yields 5% of the property (£75,000 - £30,000 borrowing)

 = 5% of £45,000 = £2250
