Asset sale to Small Self adminstered pension

[OPTIMUM]

sorry, sales should read sale
Anyway,I bought an apartment in 2005 with personal funds. I am considering selling to my SSAP with the following objectives and rationale:
- "lock-in" capital loss given price fall since 2005
_ use this capital loss against personal capital gians in over next 15 years until i reach retirement age
- SSAP purchases the apartment
- rent income is received gross
- at retirement, any gain in property price will be part of pension

- okay, i may be liable to stamp duty on sale/transfer but it might be worth paying it if in the long term it yields a better return.

Am I missing anything fellow AAM's??

Under Revenue rules you cannot do this. It would breach the "arms length" rules.
