Q: My daughter is in the process of selling the unit where she now lives to move to a bigger house. I want to buy the property at market value outright with the pension fund of my SMSF, which I jointly hold with my wife. It will form part of our portfolio in the SMSF and we will rent it through an agent at market value to a third party not related or known to us. Am I doing this within the rules of the SMSF?
A: Thank you for your question, however unfortunately the answer is quite short.
The super laws don’t allow you to acquire a residential property from the relative of a member. Unfortunately this means your transaction isn’t allowed.
