Advice to Action Groups, Committees in Gambia

Advice to Action Groups and Committees in Gambia

Very often you can find yourself in a position where you have perfectly good legal rights but where the cost of protecting those rights is just too high for one person to pay.

In these cases we can sometimes set up or act for a group of people who have all been affected by the same problem.

For example, a group of people who have bought property in the same development and where the developer has failed to deliver the properties or honour his contract.

Or for a group of people who are in dispute with an unscrupulous timeshare operator.

This can reduce the cost per person from thousands of pounds to a few hundred and make taking action economically viable.

Owning Property via your SIPP

Owning Property via your SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension)

Yes! SIPPs can own property in the Gambia.

They can own commercial property (hotels, bars, offices, land etc.) and – subject to certain restrictions – they can own residential property via indirect means (e.g. via a company or property fund rather than directly by the SIPP), where they own no more than 10% of the property and where it is not for their personal use.

Property ownership through the SIPP can be incredibly tax efficient.

If you and your financial advisors decide that this is for you we can help you by introducing you to a suitable SIPP provider, by finding and/or buying the property in question and by dealing with all of the ongoing paperwork that will be required.
