I’m first-time homebuyer.. at age of 86
A PENSIONER has become Britain’s oldest firsttime homebuyer, aged 86.
Simon Jones had always lived on his family’s farm before moving into Marleyfield House assisted care facility a year ago.
But he always wanted his own home and has bought a £147,000 bungalow in Flintshire, Wales.
Simon said: “I’m so excited to finally have a place of my own, I loved it at Marleyfield but I want to spend my remaining years in my own home. It’s certainly worth the wait.”
Niece Lynne Palin said: “At Marleyfield he was known as a real character, and a bit of a lady’s man so he’ll be missed there.
“He has solar panels on the roof of the bungalow, and he thought that means he’ll get free electricity.”
