    What is a lease agreement?

    Lease agreements allows use of a vehicle without ownership, but still offers the return of all the asset value achieved from the sale, or the majority of the sale proceeds less a percentage to the finance companies in some instances.

    What happens at the end of a Finance Lease?

The lessor arranges the invoice and receives the funds from the sale.  Profit from the sale is refunded to the lessee classed as a refund of rentals, as per the terms of your agreement. If you part exchange the vehicle, it is normal for the dealer to complete the sales agreement direct with the finance company.

     What happens if I want to keep the vehicle?

    If you want to keep the vehicle, the finance company (lessor) usually offers a peppercorn rental service; this is a nominal annual charge that is also treated as a tax deductible rental.

    Contract Hire or Leasing - which is the correct terminology?

    Contract Hire may be referred to as Leasing, whilst this is a popular reference, a vehicle leasing agreement is not the same as Contract Hire, there are key differences.

     Vehicle Lease agreements in the U.K. are usually subject to a residual value, where the lessee - the person who leases the vehicle - is responsible to the Lessor - the owner (Finance Company) - for the residual value amount.

    Flexi lease

    Flexi lease is a fully amortized, lease where the asset value is written down to zero or a nominal over the lease period, were the lessee receives the full sale proceeds of the vehicle, less any percentage retained by the finance company which on average is 5%
