Now living in the village we love
Retired shopkeepers Mr & Mrs Green were living in a bungalow in Devon, when they decided to move back to the picturesque Cornish town of Port Isaac.
Having moved away from the area several years before they grew to miss their old way of life and wanted to return.
Following initial property searches the Greens soon discovered that house prices in Port Isaac had greatly increased in the time they'd been away and were now prohibitively expensive. This was particularly relevant to bungalows, their preferred choice of property. The majority of bungalows in the area were used as holiday homes, so rarely came up for sale and when they did, commanded a very high price.
Having found their ideal bungalow Mr & Mrs Green were finally able to move in thanks to a Homewise Lifetime Lease. The property was for sale for £280,000 and the Lease allowed them to move in for £191,000 saving them £89,000.
Mrs Green said: “Thanks to the Homewise Lifetime Lease, we are now able to be living in the village we love - thank you so much.”
