Who owns a car while a hire purchase agreement is running?
Under hire purchase, the finance provider normally retains legal ownership until the agreement's payment and ownership-transfer conditions have been met. Using the car and making instalments are not the same as holding title from the outset. Check the agreement before selling or transferring a financed vehicle, and ask the lender for the requirements if an early settlement is planned.
