Real people, real moves
Moving later in life can feel impossible. These people chose a different way to move — and they started out exactly where you are now. Filter by what matters most to you.
David
After his mum died, David was left with limited funds — enough for a flat, but he'd always dreamed of a house and garden. The Home for Life Plan made it possible.
Judy
With a mortgage to clear and friends to be near, Judy's options felt impossibly narrow. A local estate agent pointed her to the Home for Life Plan.
Brad
Close to retirement with limited equity after buying at the top of the market twice, Brad needed a way to settle somewhere secure. He found it.
David and Laurie
Their hearts were set on a bungalow in Eastbourne, but an outstanding mortgage meant their dream felt out of reach. Until they found the Home for Life Plan.
Jane and Tony
After 10 years in Spain, they wanted to come home. But the drop in Spanish property prices left them struggling to afford the UK. Until they found a different way to move.
Hugh and Helen
They’d found the perfect bungalow but buying it outright would have meant spending every last penny of their savings. Then they found a way to move and afford their retirement goals.
Judy
With a mortgage to clear and friends to be near, Judy's options felt impossibly narrow. A local estate agent pointed her to the Home for Life Plan.
Ron and Val
Living in Norfolk, five hours from their sons in London, they needed a way to get closer — but South Coast prices felt impossible. Their dream move was made possible, with a Home for Life Plan.

independent customer rating
Excellent service
Ms Jones, Homewise CustomerExcellent service all round from every member of staff. They were helpful and friendly from beginning to end. They take a lot of the stress of buying a home away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Perfect option
Mr Fairbrother, Homewise CustomerWe wished to access the equity in our current home without the ball & chain of interest accruing, this was the perfect option for us. The company, family owned and run, have excellent staff to which no criticism can be attached.
Future security
Mr & Mrs Twelftree, Homewise CustomersWithout Homewise and the Home for Life Plan, we would not have been able to purchase a house for our retirement in West Sussex. We had been looking at an uncertain future in the private rental market.
