    My wife and myself have no pensions and are looking to set one up.
    Can you purchase a property through a pension fund? Does anyone know how it works? Is it worth it.

    The no income tax on the property sounds interesting.

    Thanks

    Yes, you can do it through a pension. Is it a good idea to invest all of your pension into a single asset, in a single asset class, in a small geographic area? Probably not.
