If not, what is the difference in meaning between them? Q Quoc, 1) Property – in real estate terms, refers to one or more of the following: building, house, shopping mall, a company, and hotel etc. 2) In common terms, “property” refers to the items or belongings one owns; as in personal property which includes but not limited to car, TV, boat, wardrobe, furniture, appliances etc.. 3) Asset refers to anything one owns that can be assessed and turned into cash such as stock, bonds, jewelry, partnership, and include items stated in # 1 and # 2. They are not the same thing and therefore not interchangeable.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Words/dwnzn/post.htm#293779Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:58:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:293779CalifJim3http://www.englishforums.com/English/Words/dwnzn/post.htm#293779http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-293779.xmlAssets are things owned, basically. Property (in the sense of real estate, i.e., land) is only one kind of asset. Cash and buildings and material goods are also assets, but they are not property in the sense of land.
