Plan Benefits
See why thousands of people choose the Home for Life Plan — and how it compares to traditional property ownership, equity release, renting, and other options.
Why do people choose a Home for Life Plan?
Everyone has their own reason for moving.
They might want to live closer to friends and family or need a property that’s easier to manage. They could be looking to clear an outstanding mortgage or debts, free up funds for holidays and rainy days.
Or simply hope to enjoy their retirement in a home and location they love.
Your dream of moving to the right home could become an affordable reality, with a Home for Life Plan — tailored to your individual circumstances and personal goals.
- Live in your chosen home, rent-free and mortgage-free
Whether you’re looking for a bungalow, flat, house, or new build — whatever your reason for moving, the home you really want could be within reach.
- Secure a home for your lifetime
A Lifetime Lease protects your right to live in your chosen home until you move permanently into long-term care or pass away.
- Leave an inheritance — now, later, or both
Protect a percentage of the property’s future value for your family, gift a cash inheritance now, or do both. It’s completely your choice.
- Free up funds to enjoy your retirement
Pick up a new hobby, travel, help your family, or save for a rainy day.

Why trade property ownership?
Moving home is getting increasingly expensive. Property prices are high and budgets just don't stretch as far.
Without realising it, the cost of buying a home at full market price can start to limit your options.
But when property ownership becomes optional, your options open up. And homes, locations, and plans that felt out of reach can start to feel possible again.
With a Home for Life Plan, you don't own the property itself. But you do have long-term security, no mortgage, and the option to leave an inheritance.
It's a trade-off: give up property ownership to make the home and retirement you want more affordable.

Our 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.
Retiring Happy
Mr & Mrs Twelftree, Homewise CustomersWithout 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.
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.
