The last government made changes to the borrowing rules for UK Registered Pension Schemes which effectively excluded the purchase of commercial property.
The changes were introduced as a precursor to enabling residential properties to be permitted as a pension scheme investment. The residential property changes were never implemented and a distortion of the pensions investment market has endured.
Commercial properties not only include industrial and warehousing properties but also smaller properties such as pubs, shops, Post Offices and farms.
