# Meet Ron and Val

Though they had a busy life in Norfolk, Ron and Val felt they lived too far away from their sons in London. With financial options limited due to their age, the Home for Life Plan was the ideal solution.

## Why Homewise?

Wanting to move from Norfolk to be closer to their sons in London, Ron and Val wished to relocate to the Sussex coast.

Unfortunately property prices in the right location were above their budget, and getting a mortgage was difficult due to their age. Faced with limited options, they were delighted to learn how a Home for Life Plan could make it possible for them to secure the perfect property.

Ron and Val were able to arrange their finances in a way that gave them much more flexibility and the boosted budget with Homewise meant they were soon able to find their perfect home in West Sussex.
