Dear Paul There are many ways to arrange leasing. I have ended up with vans at the end of a lease and also equipment. I did say you should shop around and negotiate. On one occasion I didn't want to buy a Ford van but got their contract and proposal which was the cheapest and best and walked into Renault and asked them to better it. I then went to my bank and asked them if they could improve on that. After about two hours effort I had saved �480 per annum over four years. Did you think of negotiating the one month final fee from PhotoLease? Or their rate? Did you get comparisons?
Hire purchase alows you to claim back all the VAT at the outset. With leasing you can only do it one month at a time.

It makes no sense, why is it cheaper or better to use hire purchase? Are you talking about leasing in a car sense or in a camera/computer sense. As I understand it (I've never leased a car, but have leased plenty of cameras and computers), the two types of lease are very different. When I lease equipment through PhotoLease (a London based outfit) they always give me the equipment at the end of the lease for a simple one month extra fee. This works perfectly for my needs. If leasing a car, then usually the lease company will take the car back at the end of the lease, therefore hire purchase would be slightly more preferable, depending on the extra cost involved.
