GoogleThe staff from Homewise were very helpful and professional throughout, which gave me confidence in the process. Any problems were resolved as quickly as possible, removing much stress from the house buying and selling process. Particularly reassuring was that the same staff dealt with the process throughout. Communication was swift and transparent. A superb company to deal with.

TrustpilotIt was a pleasure to have had such an understanding and knowledgeable young man
The operator was understanding of our needs and explanations were easy to follow. Any queries were dealt with honesty and any follow ups - if they were necessary - were done when we were told they would be done. Very professsional, polite and very knowledgeable.

GoogleCalled to check details, friendly enough, but anyone living with the over 60 will have 28 days to vacate the property when they die. Not a great thing while grieving. Considering how many bedrooms most of these property's have it would seem likely the over 60 person will not be alone to desire such a size of house. And if the over 60 did not pay extra to protect 50% of the value paid then it would be eviction without inheritance!

We have requested a little more information via Trustpilot from you Mr Wood, to further understand the conversation you had with our team that has led to your rating of our service. Your feedback is very important to us and weβd like to help in any way we can. There may be some confusion that we are able to clarify, which may prove useful in your assessment of our product and service.It is correct that you would not own the property itself with our Home for Life Plan, however, there are many benefits to this option that many find to be the right solution in their circumstances. With a one-off payment, that is significantly less than the market value, you would purchase a Home for Life Plan to live in your chosen home, anywhere in England or Wales, rent-free and mortgage-free for your lifetime. It would be your home to enjoy and maintain, as with any property you may live in. You would also be able to safeguard up to 50% of the propertyβs future value to leave to your estate, as a guaranteed future inheritance, if you wish.Every Home for Life Plan is unique and tailored to your circumstances, but in many cases this saving may be more than Β£100,000, savings range from 8.5% - 59% for freehold properties and depend on personal circumstances and property criteria. Thanks to this saving, many of our customers will choose to clear previous debts, creates funds to enjoy in retirement, or gift any early inheritance. Or this can be seen as a βboostβ, whereby you can secure a more expensive property than you could afford to buy yourself, not having to compromise and finding the ideal home for your retirement.Essentially, we provide choice and an alternative option that helps many people. Weβre really proud of the service we offer and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how Homewise may be able to help you in the future. If youβd like to know more about our bespoke Home for Life Plan, please do get in touch directly at any time.Kind regards,DanielleOn behalf of Homewise

GoogleThey take properties advertised by other agents, reduce the price of over 60's without consent. If i could give a 0 I would. Who are these con artists? As you can see on the picture, their advert with another agents pictures and floorplans....
Tq1 Β· 31 August 2018
Agent replied Β· 29 August 2024
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
