Home Search Support
Finding the right property later in life can feel overwhelming — especially in a competitive market. Our team takes the pressure off, for free. We do the searching, the sense-checking, and the legwork. You make the decisions.
What we do for you
This isn't a token service. Our in-house team of property experts works with you from day one — and stays with you until you're settled.
-
Search for properties that match your needs
We work with our nationwide network of estate agents to find options — some of which may not yet be on the open market. We send you tailored recommendations so you don’t miss anything.
-
Research properties and locations
We carry out thorough checks on the properties you’re considering — looking into things you might not think to ask about, so you can make an informed decision.
-
Arrange priority viewings
We liaise with agents to book viewings on options you want to see. We’ll get the full picture and share our honest opinion on every property.
-
Negotiate on your behalf
When you’ve found the right property, our expert negotiators liaise with the agents, agree a strategy with you, and put forward a competitive offer to get the best price.
-
Help you sell your current home
We perform an impartial market appraisal, help you find the right estate agent, and work to keep the sale moving. Or explore our Guaranteed Sale option for added certainty.
-
Manage the legal process
Our in-house Sales Progression team coordinates with solicitors, agents, and all parties in the chain — keeping things on track so you don’t have to chase anyone.
Working with you
When you’re ready to move forward, you’ll be matched with a personal Account Manager.
They'll work closely with you throughout your move. Get to know your circumstances, your goals, and what your ideal home looks like.
Together you'll build your personalised plan and handle as much or as little of the search as you want.
With a team of experts conducting daily property searches, your Account Manager will send you tailored recommendations, making sure you never miss a new listing that could be right for you.

Worried about selling your current home?

It’s not right for everyone, but when it fits, it removes one of the biggest stresses of moving.

Family Values
Mr & Mrs O'Dell, Homewise Customer
The Home for Life Plan has allowed us as a very mature couple to get the type of property that we want.
Without the plan we would still be in our other property, which would make our life a problem.
A big thank you to Homewise for thinking of people as a family.
Stress-Free Process
Mrs Macgregor, Homewise CustomerIt was easy to contact Homewise and their staff were unfailingly approachable, efficient and helpful. I particularly appreciated that, at all stages, I had a named representative who I could contact with any queries. Everything was explained clearly, and all communications were prompt. They did their best to resolve any issues, making the whole house purchase process as stress-free as possible.
