How does a Home for Life work?
- You chose your ideal home and Homewise will pay the agreed selling price to buy the property
- You pay a one-off amount to Homewise (up to 59% less than the market price) to purchase a “Home for Life Plan”, to live in your chosen property without any rent or mortgage payments
- The amount you pay is calculated based on your personal circumstances and property choice
- Whilst you do not own the property itself, you have the choice to safeguard up to 50% of the property’s future value which can provide a guaranteed inheritance for your estate
- A core legal document of the Home for Life Plan is a “Lifetime Lease” - this provides you with the legal right to live in your chosen property, rent-free and mortgage-free, for your lifetime and is registered at the Land Registry, with you named as the Lifetime Lease Owner
- When you pass away or move permanently into long-term care your Home for Life Plan will end, and the property will be sold; any safeguarded percentage of the sales proceeds will be paid to your estate, less your share of the selling costs
- The Home for Life Plan is not a financial service like a mortgage or loan, so there are no interest repayments at any time; there is no borrowing involved and therefore there is nothing to pay back
- As with any house move, your legal work will be conducted by an independent solicitor of your choice; they will be required to sign a solicitor’s certificate confirming that they have fully explained the Home for Life Plan to you, and you are happy to proceed with the purchase
- The Home for Life Plan is portable and can move with you to a new home in the future, should you wish to move again
Be free from ongoing financial burdens and have peace of mind knowing that you are secure in your home for your lifetime, with a Home for Life from Homewise. Search for your dream home today.
