These are the BEST new car lease deals for less than £250 per month – and they’re in stock

GLOBAL supply chain issues and a lack of semiconductors have made getting hold of new cars a nightmare.

In some cases, placing an order now can mean waiting for as long as 12 months.

However, if you're in the market for a new motor and you don't want to wait, there are options - and they don't have to cost a fortune.

They're also in stock and ready to be delivered quickly if you aren't too picky on colour or equipment.

For the vast majority of people leasing a new car makes more sense than paying cash. Most of us don't have £40,000 ready to go.

But there are things to remember when leasing a car. You'll need a chunk of cash to put down upfront that you won't get back, the agreements usually last for years at a time and there are penalties for giving the car back early.

The most important thing is to read and fully understand the terms of your agreement before signing on the dotted line.

Most importantly, understand what the total cost of the agreement is to you over the term and what the financial penalties are for cancelling.
