Homewise reviews in Worthing, Durham and Birmingham

Hi Christian, did you know that you can remove our properties from your online search really easily just by filtering out retirement homes? This should help make your search results more relevant to you. Thanks, Jenny

Hi Sohiab, we don't actually own the properties you see advertised online. We're an estate agent and like all other estate agents, we're just offering the properties for sale. All of them are available for anyone to purchase - you'll find the details in the property listing. I hope this helps! Jenny

Hi Loraine, if our adverts aren't relevant to you, you can easily filter them out by removing retirement homes from your search. I hope that helps! Jenny

Hi Renata, just so you're aware, we don't actually own all of the properties you see advertised online. We're an estate agent and work like any other agent in that we're just offering them for sale.They're still available for anyone to purchase through our partner agents - you can find the details of how to do this in the full property listing. If our ads aren't relevant for you, you can easily remove them from your search by filtering out retirement homes - this should help make your search more relevant and you won't miss out on any properties because you'll still see them advertised through our partner agents. Good luck with the house hunt! Jenny

Hi Jaspal, you've definitely got the wrong impression of what we do here! Hopefully I can help clear it up for you a bit. We don't sell people's homes at below market prices. We help people over 60 get a discount on the cost of their next home so they can move closer to family, buy a more suitable home and generally live the retirement they want, and the impact this has on people's lives is incredible - check out our Feefo reviews! One of the ways we advertise this is through Rightmove and Zoopla, where we advertise properties available with our discount (with the vendor's permission, obviously!) If someone over 60 were to buy one of these properties with a discount, the vendor would still get full market value - we'd pay market value to the vendor and the over 60s customer would pay the discounted price to us. I hope this helps to explain, but if you have any further questions then feel free to get in touch! Jenny

Hi Rob, that's absolutely not the case - we're an estate agent so we have to have (and do have!) permission from the vendor to advertise their property. The way it works is that we partner with numerous estate agents across the country, and as part of their service they are able to offer something called Market Plus, this basically allows their vendors to reach an increased audience for their property by marketing it both at the full asking price and at a reduced price for the over sixties. Every vendor has to give specific consent for this advertising and we do not advertise without it. I hope this makes sense. By the way, if our ads aren't relevant to you, you can stop seeing them easily by filtering out retirement homes in your search. Jenny

Hi Shane, I'd like to reassure you that this isn't the case. As part of the Home for Life Plan, customers can choose to safeguard up to 50% of the property's future value as an inheritance. This means that if property values increase, then so will the value of your safeguarded percentage. The amount you choose to safeguard will have an impact on the amount of discount we can offer upfront, but it's really down to the customer and their priorities, which we work closely with our customers to explore and understand. If you don't have children, for example, then inheritance is often less important. It's also worth adding that everyone that uses the Home for Life Plan must be independently legally advised - we can't and won't proceed without this. Our sole aim here is to help people aged over sixty to move home. We're completely open about the fact that the Home for Life Plan isn't right for everyone, but for those that are struggling to find or afford a suitable home, it gives a valuable and much-needed option. Sorry for the long response, but I hope I've helped to address some of your concerns. Jenny

Hello there, I just wanted to help clarify how we work. We don't actually own all the properties you see advertised online - we're an estate agent and we work like all other estate agents in that we're just offering them for sale. All of them are available for anyone to purchase and you can find the details of how to do this in our property listing. We try not to make assumptions about the types of homes people over 60 would like to buy, therefore we do advertise larger homes along with bungalows and flats so that there are plenty of options available. I hope this makes sense and helps to clear things up a bit. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we'll be happy to help. Jenny

Hi Abbie, if you filter out retirement homes from your property search then you'll no longer see our adverts which should help make your search more relevant. I hope this helps! Jenny

Hi David, did you know that if you filter out retirement homes then you'll no longer see our adverts? It's really easy to do - just hit the filter button in the top right then click 'don't show retirement homes'. I hope that helps! Jenny

Hi Daniel, if you filter out retirement homes from your Rightmove search then you'll no longer see our adverts which should help make your search results more relevant. It's really easy to do - just click 'Filter' in the top right then choose 'don't show retirement homes'. I hope that helps! Jenny
