Get to know Homewise

Your Home for Life Plan

The Home for Life Plan provides a simple way for you to secure your next home for thousands less, through the purchase of a Lifetime Lease.

You review properties on the market (these can be on the market with any estate agent, anywhere in England or Wales) and, once you find your ideal home, Homewise will purchase that property.

Put simply, we buy the property, you pay us a one-off sum to purchase a Lifetime Lease on it, providing you with the right to live in your new home without any rent or mortgage payments at any time. You can also choose to safeguard a percentage of the property value for your estate.

Mortgage-free retirement

Homewise customers are free of financial burdens such as monthly rent and mortgage payments; they can achieve their moving goals and enjoy a happy retirement in their ideal home.

Watch this short video and learn how Helen and Mike were able to pay off their interest-only mortgage, create funds for their future, and secure an inheritance for their daughter with help from Homewise.

I'm looking to:
Have a better property

David

After his mum died, David was left with half the proceeds from the sale of her house. This would have been enough for a flat, but David had always dreamed of having a house and garden. After getting in touch with Homewise he was able to get the perfect home he wanted and left him with enough money to carry out work on his house and garden.

Have a better property

Judy

With a mortgage to pay off, Judy was unable to afford a suitable property on the market, closer to friends and family. A local estate agent mentioned the Home for Life Plan, explaining it would be able to increase her budget and her search options. Thanks to Homewise, Judy was able to find a new home in her perfect location, ideal for her and her cat Picky.

Have a better property

Brad

Brad was close to retirement and wanted to move somewhere he could live comfortably. Having purchased at the top of the market twice previously, he had limited equity, which he felt gave him fewer property options. With the help of the Home for Life Plan he was able to find a small 2-bedroom Victorian terrace where he has been able to settle securely and enjoy his retirement.

Have a better property

David and Laurie

David and Laurie had their heart set on a bungalow in Eastbourne but knew that when they sold their property in Buckinghamshire, they had an outstanding mortgage that meant this dream was out of their reach. Thanks to the Home for Life Plan, they were able to afford their home by the sea, retire in the location of their choice and enjoy their dream home for life.

Have a better property

Jane and Tony

When Jane and Tony decided to move back to the UK after 10 years in Spain, they discovered that the drop in house prices in Spain meant that they were struggling to find a suitable property in the UK. Thanks to the Home for Life Plan, they were able to increase their available budget to find the perfect home close to their family on the South Coast.

Have a better property

Hugh and Helen

Hugh and Helen had found the perfect property, a lovely bungalow, but buying it outright would have meant they spent all their savings. With their children living in Australia and South Africa, they wanted to be able to put money aside to travel and enjoy their retirement. Thanks to the Home for Life Plan, they were able to move into their ideal home and keep their savings.

Be closer to family

Ron and Val

For Ron and Val, the Home for Life Plan gave them a way to move closer to their sons. Living in Norfolk, five hours from London, it was too far for regular visits, but a move to the South Coast with great transport links and beautiful surroundings has changed that. Ron and Val enjoy hosting busy weekends with the family in their full-to-bursting new home.
