Some people see this as an opportunity to use the proceeds from their pension to buy a property as an investment. When you look at the figures though, you quite quickly realise the value of the property you can buy is much lower than the value of the pension fund due to the tax and stamp duty you will need to pay. If Fred takes an uncrystallised fund pension lump sum from his pension fund, he will receive £278,797 after tax. So, from Fred’s pension fund of £400,000 he will be looking at properties around the value of £260,918 (£278,797 - £17,879) rather than £400,000 taking into account the income tax and stamp duty he will need to pay. It’s quite clear using an uncrystallised fund pension lump sum to purchase a property should be considered carefully due to the taxes payable and other costs involved. Not only at the time of taking the uncrystallised fund pension lump sum and buying the property but into the future as well.

Can you use your pension to buy a house? The short answer is yes, but there are a few caveats. If you plan on using pension funds to buy a house in Ontario, your options will depend on what type of pension plan you have. You may have a personal RRSP, or one that you contribute to with your spouse or common-law partner. Certain programs allow home buyers to tap into their RRSP savings while side-stepping some of those penalties. As part of Canada’s Home Buyers’ Plan, you’re able to withdraw some money from your RRSP in order to buy or build a home. If you qualify for the Home Buyers’ Plan, you can take out up to $60,000 from your RRSP to use towards buying or building a house.

In most cases you can take money from your private pension to buy a property.
This is because from the age of 55 you can generally take as much or as little money as you like from a private pension.
Whether or not it’s the right thing for you to do depends on many factors including what other income you’ll be receiving in retirement and how much you could end up owing the tax man as a result of taking money from your pension.
Releasing pension money early is not right for everyone as it will leave you worse off in retirement.
You can take a quarter of your pension tax free.
After that, the rest is treated as income which means the taxman could end up with a big chunk of your money.
Once it’s all paid for, you will need a huge increase in the property’s price just to get back what you took from your pension.

Technically, you can buy residential property with your pension fund, but HMRC will hit you with a hefty taxable bill. You can use your pension to buy residential property through a Residential Property Fund. You could potentially benefit from capital appreciation and rental income, but you’ll avoid having to pay capital gains tax should you decide to sell the property. The clincher is that you won’t have to pay tax on any income the property may generate, providing you hold it within your self-invested personal pension (SIPP). Can I transfer my pension into a commercial property? Yes, and you could enjoy significant tax benefits if you choose to use your pension to buy a commercial property.
