The Rising Trend of Lifts for Houses

We all love a little luxury in our house and the latest comforts and electronic gadgets to help us in our busy lives; so it’s no surprise that the trend for building high specification luxury homes sees developers and owners alike including the convenience of a lift. The trend of developers adding lifts into housing developments It’s the ultimate statement, a lifestyle choice and a useful addition to high-end housing. Plus with people increasing looking for their 'forever home' it ensures the house is future-proofed to cover every stage of life. Increasingly people are now tempted by grand interior designs when it comes to buying a new house with some 257,000 homes in the UK are now described as having a "high spec interior", according to research by Aviva. For developers looking to differentiate and add value a home with a lift really does stand out from the crowd, propelling a property into a highly desirable ‘must have’ category. For new and refurbished properties, Developers and Architects for private housing developments are ensuring the home is future-proofed and the added value of the lift helps to assist in the sale of the property and it is certainly a market we have seen strong growth in. The trend for home-owners to make a statement with a lift Many lifts are, no doubt, luxury amenities that perfectly suit luxury homes with their high quality and high-end finishes.This luxury not only boosts the price of a home but also makes it more attractive, improving the interior design of a luxury home by creating a focal point that is both one-of-a-kind and practical at the same time. Lifts are not seen as the elitist objects they used to be anymore, as they provide a fantastic practical purpose that aids accessibility and mobility in one’s home. For many people, continuing to live in the same home they’ve lived for many years as they age is extremely important. Or alternatively future proofing your new custom built home. A lift can allow them to do just that, but without the effort and the risk of injuries and accidents, and where often the cost of a lift is less than the cost of moving from the family home. But it's not just people-moving lifts that have a role in domestic living - as the trend for new townhouses with several floors continue, service lifts, also known as dumbwaiters, are having a resurgence in popularity due to their small size and ease of installation. Here at Stannah, we are increasingly see luxury home developers add a lift as part of their high end specification and an equal growth in domestic enquiries, from high-end home owners looking for a luxury statement. The different types of home lifts Properties come in all shapes and sizes - and so do domestic lifts. In a new dwelling, a lift can be part of an architect’s plans and can fit seamlessly as part of the whole project. In an existing home, there is a need to place the lift around the current house layout.
