Home For Life plan

I've been searching online and found a few houses with 'low' prices but the descriptions say price reduced for over 60s under home for life plan. I just wondered whether there was any similar scheme for ftb's?

    Only applicable to those with a capital sum at their disposal. Also its not a purchase either but a long term rental. Hence why targeted at those over 60. A totally different market to FTB's.
  • Has anyone used the Home for Life Plan yet?
    How was it and were you satisfied?
    Are there any problems and what are the disadvantages?

    If you are referring to http://www.homewise.co.uk/ then this is not a long term rental, but an equity release scheme, which will be repayable on death/sale/going into care.

    Several insurance companies run equity release/lifetime mortgage schemes, if you are interested, you should speak to a qualified advisor.

  • that before you enter into this plan you check out your alternatives, there is no way out of this scheme other than homelessness! This is unregulated and as such there is no protection against the advice!
