Some home
improvements are an easy decision to make. Maybe it's a fresh coat of paint on
the walls or a new coffee table in the living room. However, these aren’t
necessarily things that are going to increase your home's overall value. Lots
of homeowners are particularly keen to ‘future proof’ their properties. How? By
installing adaptations in the home which are going to ensure that you won’t
necessarily have to move house so urgently but if you do, your property value
is going to be increased.
With this in
mind, plenty of homeowners are beginning to recognise the value of having a
lift installed into their property. Today’s domestic lifts are a useful
addition to the home for anyone at any stage of their life rather than a
specific age or mobility requirement. Nowadays, domestic lifts not only look
stylish and modern but are practical too.
Installing a
home lift is something that provides convenience, safety but also increases the
resale value of your home by attracting increased potential buyers. Buyer
expectations are ever-increasing. People want stylish homes with accessibility
and optimum convenience. So, installing a lift is not only going to provide you
with total convenience but also provide your home with a higher resale value.
With this in
mind, here in this blog, we outline to you the various ways that lift
installation is going to optimise the overall value of your home. Read on to
discover more!
Add a luxury design feature to your home
It's pretty
clear to most that a lifts primary feature is its practicality. But perhaps the
other most attractive feature of lifts is that they also act as an attractive
design feature of the home too. It's fair to say that lifts aren't exactly
commonplace in residential properties, this is another reason why it's so
appealing to homeowners or property buyers when a property possesses a lift.
Domestic lift installation is a surefire way to ensure that your home stands
out amongst others.
The lifts of
today are built with style and functionality in mind. You can opt for a kind of
lift that blends seamlessly with the design and style of your home or
consequently if you specifically want a lift that stands out, you can still opt
for one with bespoke features or something which has more of a ‘wow-factor. The
choice really depends on your preferences but the list of possibilities and
options really does go on.
Home lifts are appealing for the mature market
Quite
possibly one of the key factors which draw people into properties that have an
at-home lift is the increased appeal from the mature market. Older demographics
are looking for properties that are going to stand the test of time and are
totally future-proofed. Older generations tend to seek out properties that are
their forever home.
In a UK study
, it was found that 61% of older
people want to reside in properties that are based on one level, for example, a
bungalow. However, these types of properties are actually in short supply in
the UK. An at-home lift solves a multitude of dilemmas relating to mobility and
maintaining independence for older people or those who experience issues
relating to mobility.
Moving heavy loads and bulky items made easier
It goes
without saying that the stairs can be slightly impractical at times. For
instance, when you’re going on holiday and you’ve got your huge bulky baggage
to get up and down the stairs. Or when you’re redecorating and have bigger
items of furniture to move up or downstairs. And what about Christmas and all
of the decorations you have to haul downstairs from the attic?
The typical
home buyer may not actually anticipate a lift being such a practical
investment, many still envision a home lift as a slightly extravagant
investment. More often than not these days, this isn’t the case. A lift is
incredibly practical. When you think about how significant decorating, chores
along with all the other day-to-day runnings of a house are - a lift is an
ideal solution.
Creates a unique flair for your home
Having a lift
in your home is certainly going to make it stand out. Let's put it this way,
people are more likely to remember the place they go to view that has a lift
than a place they go to view without one. This is certainly going to up your
stakes in terms of competitiveness! A lift isn’t necessarily commonplace and
isn't something that is going to be found in every single home so rest assured
that yours is going to have a real unique flair and definitely stick out in
people’s minds. Lots of potential buyers will view this feature as a means to
safeguard their future and allow people to reside in their home long term - and
enjoy it.
Integrating technology into the home
Tech is very
much becoming a part of everyone's lives, every day. It's also becoming a
bigger part of the home. This relates to innovations and adaptations, adding
luxury and creating convenience. This is another reason why lifts provide
convenience and accessibility while again, having the draw of being a
technological advancement that will stand the test of time. If you live in an
intergenerational home, a lift again is going to be something that will connect
everyone in the home on any ground of the property. A lift is something that
provides a dignified solution for anyone struggling with mobility and allows
independence.
The bottom line
As you can
see, there are many reasons why a lift can increase the value of your home. Not
only to future proof a property but also create an increased real estate value
of the home. These factors increase convenience as well as overall value.
