    Hmm, it would help for you to get the expressions right!

    They are respectively known as ‘finance lease’ and ‘operating lease’

    A finance lease is one where substantially the whole of the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are transferred by one person (the lessor) to another (the lessee)

    An operating lease is any lease that isn’t a finance lease

    These definitions are from the International Accounting Standard on the subject of leases IAS 17

    Owner occupied property? Do you own any property? Yes? Do you live at that property? Yes? Then that property is owner occupied

    Do you own any property? Yes? Do you live at that property? No? Does someone else live at that property? Yes? Then that property is NOT owner occupied

    OK?

    For the lessee

    If I owned a property and leased it to you, what are you going to do with it?

    You may become an occupier (a tenant) or you could sub-lease the property to some third party friend

    In that latter situation, you are the lessee of a finance lease and you are, following the subsequent agreement with your friend, a lessor

    But you don’t even have to lease it out to your friend

    Get hold of the property from me under a finance lease (for the whole or substantially the whole of the life of the property) and hold it for its capital appreciation or its stream of income (as an investment property)

    OK?
