Sorry Crystal . . . Self Invested Personal Pensions . . . where you are allowed to take control over your own Pension Fund investments under certain permitted conditions. We've been trying to get funds released from a fund for some time now in the hope of investing it in further property in Spain. With the relaxation of regulations next April this should be possible . . . but it will be the same for a lot of people, so could be good for the property market out there, but probably not so good for the rentals market!

Alexia,

The answer to that will be of interest, particularly for those, like me, who are reviewing their Rental Websites.

HR is on my list of possibles for next year and a decision has to made about now.
