Very good professional service from Rhonda and her team throughout as it was a bit difficult at the start as we are both Deaf and explained to them about Deaf Awareness and using BSL interpreters through zoom and made the communication between us and Rhonda and her team more effective! We are hoping before long get our home through Homewise as the process is going well so far! Fingers crosses! Can’t thank Rhonda enough from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew and Sonia

All of JW Wood's representatives whom we have had the pleasure to meet or speak to have been extremely welcoming and professional.

Superb!!

We were looking for a house and Martyn the manager of Bishop Auckland branch couldn’t do enough to help us! Told us of a property new to the market, when I looked at pics I thought not for us but we viewed anyway, blown away was an understatement! It was like he saw my dream! He was friendly efficient and always there on the other end of the phone to sort the purchase quickly! Thank you so much to you and your team excellent service!

Homewise have been assisting me for several months, to find and help purchase a property for me. In particular Kiera Stirton, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately I have not found a suitable property but I have no qualms about recommending them.

I recently had my eyelashes permed and coloured by Margy who did a really excellent job. I had never had this done before and was a bit apprehensive, but I needn’t have worried as she was very careful and took great care and didn’t rush anything. I was able to relax and enjoy the beauty treatment while chatting away with Margy. The results were certainly worth it. Thank you Margy. Margy’ s Beauty Therapy Kirkby Malzeard x

Heatherlie House Hotel This was our third (annual) visit. We stayed three nights and from the warm welcome on our arrival until our departure we were again treated to a wonderful stay. Sonny is the perfect host and he, his family and his staff go out of their way to ensure that guests are happy and well catered for. Many thanks to them all. We are already looking forward to next year. John and Helen.

Beware of this company

Beware of this company. At first they were vague about the nature of their contribution towards the cost of the property. Later they said it was a Lifetime Mortgage ( which is one form of equity release). However it is not a lifetime mortgage. If you take out a lifetime mortgage you own the property. With Homewise they own the property even though you will contribute much more than them to the price of the property. I checked with the Equity Release Council, Homewise are not an approved lender and you are not covered by ERC protections.

Paul · 19 September 2024 · Homewise Worthing (1 Liverpool Gardens)

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Thank you for your feedback although there seems to be a misunderstanding as Homewise does not provide lifetime mortgages and/or financial services. This is reflected throughout our marketing and literature, which is designed to be open and transparent about the service and product we offer.Homewise offers the Home for Life Plan, whereby we purchase a property (subject to criteria) chosen by our customer who in turn purchases a Home for Life Plan to live there for their lifetime at a significant saving against the value of the property. The Plan includes a Lifetime Lease which is registered at Land Registry, providing security and the right to live in the property rent-free and mortgage-free.Please be assured a Home for Life Plan purchase cannot proceed without our customer receiving full legal advice through their own independent solicitor, with that solicitor confirming that the customer has a full understanding of the terms and effect of the Plan and has chosen to proceed with the purchase.Your personal account manager remains available to answer any questions you have at any time. I understand you have been working with her and our colleagues in recent months, discussing viewings on your chosen properties in the hopes of progressing with the purchase of a Home for Life Plan, and wish you the best of luck in finding your new home soon.Best regards, RayeOn behalf of Homewise
