Investing in commercial property is a key feature of the SSAS, because the property in question is often then rented out to the new tenant, the limited company.
The SSAS can borrow if its funds are short, but for liquidity reasons plans for purchase should normally be internally financed.
There are some restrictions as to suitable properties, ( i.e. limited use properties such as Petrol Stations may not be allowed, and residential property is banned unless incidental, such as a caretakers place), but the usual round of offices, factories and warehouses are fine.
The company pays tax deductible rent straight into the SSAS.
