Funding the Purchase of your Building Plot through a SIPP


This is a guideline intended for potential buyers of Cayman Islands Building Plots who are interested in purchasing through a SIPP. Caribbean Land / Oasis are not authorised to give financial advice and to obtain further information about SIPPS you will need to speak to an Independent Financial Advisor.

Our Cayman Islands Plots have been approved by one of the UK’s leading SIPP providers as being compliant under the UK allowable pension investment rules.

A self-invested personal pension (or SIPP) can offer property investors a tax efficient way of holding commercial property which includes development land in or outside the UK. A SIPP is a specialist type of registered personal pension which allows the person investing for retirement a wider investment choice than has traditionally been available. A SIPP offers a flexible method of retirement planning for a UK tax payer. It enables pension investments to be selected to suit an individual’s requirements and attitude to investment risk.

Legal ownership of a Cayman Islands building plot purchased through a SIPP will rest with the Trustees of the SIPP. It is important to check that the SIPP provider being utilised permits foreign property purchases.

Once a plot is held through the SIPP any growth will be free of UK capital gains tax and income tax. Contributions to the SIPP are treated for tax purposes in the same as those for personal pension schemes. Individual contributions to the SIPP automatically receive basic rate tax relief whilst higher and additional rate tax payers may be able to claim greater relief.

SIPPs are becoming popular because :-

• they offer a simple structure

• generous tax benefits are available

• they are flexible

• and most people are eligible to invest through a SIPP

Pensions are a complex area and appropriate professional and financial advice should always be taken before investing in a SIPP. Caribbean Land and Oasis has teamed up with one of the UK’s leading independent wealth management companies who provide specialist advice on pensions and investments. For further details on how to invest in an Cayman Islands building plot using a SIPP and the fees associated with this please ring +44 (0) 1704 544438 to speak to an independent pension specialist.

An initial set up fee and ongoing annual charges may be associated with management of the SIPP and relevant enquiries should be made of the SIPP provider.

SIPP approval has been granted to the Cayman Island building plots. Any plot subsequently to be developed for residential purposes would need to be removed from the SIPP before residential building work commences.

Our investors can use pension funds to invest within our land developments using a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP).

A Self Invested Personal Pension, known as a SIPP, is a tax efficient way of saving for retirement, one which allows the investor to select and manage their investments with more control than with ordinary personal pensions. The range of investment options available with a SIPP allows an indicidual to invest across all asset classes.

Any type of pension can be transferred into a SIPP, for instance many people have several ‘frozen’ pensions from previous employment or businesses and / or personal pensions that they can transfer.

An investor using a SIPP can make further contributions ongoing into their SIPP and is entitled to full tax relief which means that if a 40% tax payer paid in £100,00 it could only cost him £60,000.

It is also possible to increase the amount of funds available in a SIPP by borrowing up to a further 50% of the value of the SIPP. For example if a SIPP has funds of £200,000, it can borrow another £100,000 making £300,000 available to invest.

This is a complex area and it does need professional advice. We have teamed up with a leading independent wealth management company specialising in financial planning.

We can arrange for a no-obligation assessment of your existing pension and retirement provision at our cost for potential investors to assess whether their existing pension plans may be transferred into a SIPP.

Cayman Islands

The Caribbean is a good place for family vacations thanks to the numerous beaches, ancient ruins, and natural attractions. Thanks to the Caribbean kids activities available throughout the islands it is one of the best places to visit with your family. The itineraries of the various cruise lines operating in the Caribbean have expanded considerably during the past few years and include Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Costa Maya, and Mexico.

Caribbean kids activities are available throughout the range of islands and some of the top attractions may be found in the ports of Georgetown (Grand Cayman), Ohco Rios and Montego Bay (Jamaica), Cozumel and Costa Maya (Mexico), Belize City (Belize), and Bay Island (Roatan) located at the north coast of Honduras.

While the Caribbean has always been a popular tourist destination among people all over the world, there is a new trend spreading across these islands that is more focused at providing great vacations to families. There are several couples who have been here before but now they are enjoying the whole experience with their kids who in turn are having a great time thanks to the Caribbean kids activities. Some of the most popular spots within the Caribbean are now being visited by families. All over the islands, Caribbean kids activities are found readily available through resorts that are now including kids programs in their daily routine so that the adults are not the only ones enjoying the Caribbean beaches. Of course, the kids too can engage in the various water activities like snorkeling, etc. or simply stay on the beach proper building castles in the sand.

This is a vast change from the old days when the Caribbean was mostly known for being a haven for the rich and famous who would dress up for formal dinners and typically stay there for weeks on end. All that was changed by air travel that put the Caribbean within reach of the average family and it was not long before this collection of tropical islands became a pleasant destination for honeymooners and now, thanks to Caribbean kids activities, it has undergone another transformation and become one of the premier family destinations in the world.

Due to this change in the focus of the Caribbean from the honeymooners to the family, a lot of couples are coming back with their kids and staying at resorts that are more focused towards their family as a whole.

Couples without families have a very different impression of the Caribbean filled with tropical drinks and other adult activities. Caribbean kids activities at resorts would offer something as different as a competition for building sand castles.

The next time you are planning to go on a family vacation you must surely consider the Caribbean because of all the new family oriented options that are available now.

Guest Blogger - James Penn runs the highly informative Caribbean site http://www.caribbean-charm.com/caribbean-vacation-package.html which details how to find Caribbean vacation packages & also the 10 best activities in the Caribbean at http://www.caribbean-charm.com/caribbean-activities.html for families & couples

Cayman Islands - The World’s Most Exclusive Emerging Market

As development along the coastlines gets increasingly limited, coastal plots of land will
become more and more rare as valuable assets go - buy now before it’s too late.

Where in the world can you find building plots of land first line to the sea?

of Grand Cayman are the islands dubbed the “Sister Islands”, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

The Cayman Islands are located in the Western Caribbean Sea. The islands lie in the
centre of the Caribbean, South of Cuba and West of Jamaica. They are positioned about
400 miles (650km) South of Miami, 180 miles (300km) South of Cuba and 195 miles
(315km) Northwest of Jamaica. Grand Cayman is by far the biggest island with an area of
76 square miles (197km2). The two sister islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are
located about 80 miles (130km) East of Grand Cayman and have areas of 14 square miles
(36km2) and 10 square miles (25.9km2) respectively.

CARIBBEAN LAND - REASONS TO BUY LAND IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

CARIBBEAN LAND - REASONS TO BUY LAND IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

1. Location of Cayman Islands – Caribbean Land

Location is often cited as the main determining factor of the value of a specific property. The same concept applies generally when considering the Cayman Islands real estate. The Cayman Islands are located in the middle of the tranquil, blue Caribbean Sea, the Cayman Islands boast a climate that seldom sees temperatures above 90°F or below 70°F. Cayman’s remoteness in the Caribbean and its lack of mountain river run-off, help maintain ultra-clear waters near shore, making for some of the best scuba diving in the world. Adding tropical plant life, beautiful white sand beaches and a short flying distance from the United States to the formula, and it’s easy to see why the Cayman Islands are seen as a paradise to many visitors.

2. Advantageous Tax Regulations in The Cayman Islands – Caribbean Land

The Cayman Islands impose very few forms of taxation upon its people. This holds true for its foreign investors as well. With regard to Cayman property ownership, the Cayman Islands assess no regular property taxes or capital gains taxes. There is also no tax due to the Cayman Islands government for other income derived from Cayman Island real estate investment such as rent or dividends.

3. Investor-Friendly Property ownership laws in the Cayman Islands – Caribbean Land
Unlike many countries, the Cayman Islands have no restrictions on the foreign ownership of Cayman Islands real estate for personal use. Land within The Cayman Islands can be owned by any adult individual (either alone or with others jointly or as proprietors in common), or in the name of a company.

Additionally, the islands-wide cadastral survey and implementation of the Registered Land Law in the 1970’s took away the risk of previous ownership claims on property. Every piece of property in the Cayman Islands is registered under a unique block and parcel number – ownership belongs to the registered owner of the Cayman land and the Government guarantees that right of ownership. There is no need for extensive title searches or title insurance.

The Land Registry is a matter of public record, and for a nominal fee, anyone can inspect or get a photocopy of a particular Land Register which will show not only the registered owner, but any liens, covenants or other restrictions on the property.
There are also no time deadlines for foreign investors to build on raw land; it can be held undeveloped indefinitely which makes owning a piece of the Cayman Islands such an attractive proposition for Caribbean Land.
