Self-building, or large-scale remodelling of a dream property, is a big step. Be smart; build it once but build it right.
Designing your own home is one of life’s rare opportunities to plan ahead on your own terms. From the layout and materials to energy efficiency and finishes, every decision shapes not just how you live now, but how you’ll live for decades to come. That’s why more self-builders across the UK are choosing to future-proof their homes by installing a Stiltz Homelift.
It’s not about anticipating ill health, it’s about making a smart, practical choice that keeps your home working for you, whatever the future holds. It might be the prospect of ageing in place, welcoming elderly relatives or reducing reliance on the stairs which is important.
Or it could be having an extra pair of hands to help get luggage, vacuum cleaners or shopping upstairs; a homelift from Stiltz offers reassurance, independence and an elegant clear-sided solution to easy living. And when planned during construction, it’s far more cost-effective and straightforward than a retrofitted afterthought.
In the UK, where housing stock is often slow to adapt to changing needs, building with accessibility in mind is not only forward-thinking, but also increasingly expected. Lifetime homes and inclusive design principles are now influencing planning decisions and resale values. A homelift helps tick that box, offering convenience now and avoiding costly, disruptive adaptations later.
From a practical perspective, incorporating a lift into the original floorplan allows it to sit naturally within the home. Whether tucked into the turn of a staircase or placed centrally for easy access between floors, today’s homelifts are compact, quiet and attractive. And because they plug into a standard domestic socket and require no lift shaft or pit, installation is refreshingly simple.
Self-builders are often visionaries, people who think beyond today’s checklist. Installing a homelift aligns with that mindset: it’s an investment in flexibility, comfort and long-term peace of mind.
So, if you’re building your forever home, ask yourself, why wait to adapt it later? By installing a homelift now, you’re building the future into a home that will continue to support you in the years to come. Call us on 0808 304 3502 to receive your information pack.
