If you own an investment property that is an excellent long term investment and have enough funds in an ARF to purchase. Can you use the ARF to purchase the property if you need to raise cash?
 

Rental property in pension

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how buying a property in a pension works. Seems a very attractive proposition but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it. Is a 50% Ltv possible? Can rents be invested into a vanguard etf? How to pay for maintenance if its through a pension? Currently...

Can a PRSA invest in property?

Good afternoon all. I'm wondering if it's possible to allocate a portion of of pension funds inside a PRSA towards investing in property? If so, can the investment be made directly, or is it only available indirectly via the likes of REITS (or both)? Thanks!

No. Apart from the general wisdom or otherwise of using your pension to buy property, you cannot move a property you already own into a pension structure. Any pension transaction must be at arms lenght.
 
Your ARF can buy an identical property, as long as you have no connection with the property or the vendor. It must be let on the open market also.
Whether or not you should do this depends on your overall financial circumstances.
 
Thank you for your responses. Selling the investment property to raise the cash is probably the option I need to investigate.

No. Revenue do not allow your ARF to buy a property from yourself.
