More details

Calling all people who have invested hard earned Pension money into property in the last 10 years and yet these same people are now suffering due to lack of new business developing, coupled with existing businesses reluctance to go ahead with any planned expansion moves, meaning good quality property’s remain empty, mine for almost two years!!!
My scheme is having to fork out thousands per month in rates on a property that has been empty 2 years, I feel it is wrong to make pension scheme owners pay rates out of there hard earn pot of funds on EMPTY commercial property, I’m sure there are thousands who feel the same frustration My pension cannot stand this for much longer!!! The government should help owners secure British pension schemes funds to no more losses, and abolish Business Rates for Empty Property’s purchased through a pension scheme.
