Homewise Reviews 

Everything went wrong i bought a lifetime lease from home wise about 5 years ago and I not happy with the property at there so many faults with the house which some of jobs I had pay for my self as I am 75 years of and finding it very had to do and I will not reckonmeding to anybody as homewise should not be trading 😞 😞 😢

Excellent product knowledge also very friendly and efficient

Homewise Nightmare, just writing to let people know about the experience I had recently.The owner of the property I was purchasing was using Homewise for the onward purchase.
It was a total nightmare they caused us delays ,gave dates then changed saying weren't ready ,seemed un organised,
Lacked communication. Cost me fines for cancellation of mover due to their last minute cancellation.which then took weeks not days to sort.Seemed to have no regard for the stress they were causing So as warning if you have them in your chain beware.

Homewise explained how they work in conjunction with the lifetime lease. What the advantages and disadvantages are. I am very happy to have financial freedom as I am currently renting £1200 per month. Just to know in a few months I only have bills to pay this is the best decision I could have made and the property I am in the process of purchasing is my dream property.

I would strongly recommend Homewise even some of my colleagues at work are looking into Homewise on what they can offer them.

Barney from Home wise was very helpful, thorough, polite & courteous.

Charlotte looked after us so well and made us feel safe and took us on a journey to give us all the answers to our questions.i think Homewise is so the way to go for people over 60,i know they did for Irene and me.we look forward to a long association with them.

Thanks! We have found our dream bungalow and it's even in the perfect location in Lake on Isle of Wight. Together, Jordan and George have been so helpful, and always available either via email or phone. It was lovely to meet George in Portsmouth, who took me and my husband through the contract. We just look forward to sealing the deal and moving in now.

From first interaction with the Homewise site and subsequent discussion about using your service I was most impressed with the quality of help and service provided. This made making choices much easier because processes and issues were carefully explained and because I was given a 'one-person' contact who kept in touch with weekly updates my journey was good. I dare say, it wasn't always simple and not without much stress but Homewise did their utmost to get me to my chosen destination.

Not as advertised. False advertising

I found everything was fully explained and I was able to ask any questions in order to make the right decision as to whether Homewise was right for me. I have no doubt that it is.

My mother-in-law is looking at using Homewise for the acquisition of a retirement home. I wanted to gain full information so that I could help her in the decision process.
I had a consultation call with Becci Pearce at Homewise who took me clearly and carefully through all the details, costs and answered all the questions I had about various details.
The Homewise approach is very open, clear and honest and there is no attempt to ‘hard sell’.
The whole experience leaves you feeling you are dealing with a very reputable organisation.

They put you at eas go through all the documents make sure you understand what you are sighing.

excellent service very helpful kept updating. rhoda wilkins was very easy to talk too . I cant fault them thank you all

Straight forward and clear

we have the added advantage of dealing with george we all treat each other like friends rather than client/advisor he has a can do attitude which is refreshing as a couple we would 100% recommend homewise and if you are lucky to get George you will get a bonus

Great communication from the team at Homewise. Every detail was explained fully. Well worth looking at.

Initially we had tried selling our home from November 2024 but only had three viewings and no offers. For personal reasons we needed to downsize into a ground floor situation with nearby parking. Our selling situation had not changed by February 2025 and so we explored other options. The one that ticked most boxes was a ground-floor apartment in Riverain Lodge, a Churchills Retirement property of 72 apartments situated centrally in Taunton. We had several viewings, and we had one reservation on us making a decision. We had viewed a flat in the Locking area of Weston Super Mare, and also a McCarthy & Stone establishment on Beach Road in Weston Super Mare, also a Local Authority complex of apartments on the edge of Taunton, but those all had one thing in common. No allotted parking space, no consideration for a Blue Badge Holder, and nowhere near enough parking spaces for the number of apartments. What was available was all on a first- come, first-served basis. The parking issue was, and still is, an issue but after a lot of soul searching we focused on Riverain Lodge as the one that met most of our requirements. The options to consider were a straight forward sale and purchase but that would not happen without an offer on our home. Alternatively a lifetime mortgage, or a bridging loan, but we decided that was not an option. The remaining was a home exchange in return for a lifetime lease on one of the apartments in Riverain Lodge. The Home Exchange entails having up to 3 valuations and reports on our home by independent Estate Agents and of those one is chosen and presented to a panel of five companies. They decide if they are prepared to make an offer on purchasing your home which one did but as advised any offer would be considerably lower than the market value as those companies purely buy cheap and sell high. But through the lifetime lease plan the offer price would enable us to acquire the apartment and move in within a short time and Churchills offered incentives also. As well as Churchills being involved, Homewise were also involved with the purchase of our company acting on behalf of the company purchasing. My contacts with Homewise were George Brodie, Customer Accounts Manager, and Katy Aitken, Customer Account Handler. I cannot praise and thank them enough for their communication and support through what turned out to be very stressful, but that was through no fault of Homewise.

Customer service is very good I hope to speak to Gary soon and clarify a few things but I am alreadt looking for a new house. Thanks Homewise.

From the start, Homewise/Sam, was very good explaining the rules, to purchase a property through them.

Gary was very helpful and answered all my questions in depth and with honesty. Nothing was too much trouble and explained the process so even I could understand it!
