Elderly homeowners looking to downsize when stairs become a challenge in their family home, can save more than £5,000 on moving costs by installing a Stiltz Home Lift.
At Stiltz Lifts, we have been able to help more and more people, typically over the age of 60, contemplating moving because of a mobility issue or desire to ‘future proof’ their property, make the simple house adaption and remain in the home they love.
We established the average house price for a detached property in the UK as being £325,000 according to data from the Land Registry and took research from Compare The Market who put the total average cost to move house at £18,250.
The price comparison site based this figure on £8,000 for estate agent fees (based on 2.5 per cent of the sale value), £1,500 for the average fees paid to solicitors and conveyancers, £6,250 on stamp duty (based on 3 per cent of the sale value), £500 for the average fees paid to property surveyors and £2,000 for the average fees paid to removal companies.
However with our entry Stiltz Duo Home Lift starting at £12,950, it means a customer can stay in the family home AND save £5,300 on moving costs.
The latest figures from the Nationwide Building Society’s house price index also show houses prices increasing by 0.3 per cent, this July, the second consecutive increase in two months. This could mean fees such as stamp duty could push the existing total average cost of moving to an even higher figure, for some homeowners.
Stiltz Lifts chairman Mike Lord said: “The figures show that people do not have to sell the family home just because the stairs have become restrictive.
“The financial cost of moving soon adds up; not to mention the emotional cost which cannot be measured in pounds and pence. Why move house and incur all the expense, stress and hassle when you don’t need to?
“A home lift can be installed in as little as one day and gives you complete access to every part of your home, while letting you take back the control to decide where you would like to live in your retirement.”
Easy to arrange lots of information, No problems with fitting, payment taken in stages, last payment when job was completed. Everyone was friendly from start to finish.
My experience with Stiltz Homelifts. Just over a month ago, I had my Stiltz lift installed and I am so pleased with it. The workmen that came and fitted it were very professional and knew what they were doing. They were so professional I would not hesitate to recommend Stiltz lifts to anybody.
Great looking product, knowledgeable sales people, fitters work clean quickly and polite. Definitely recommend.
Great stylist lift, had for six months without a hitch. Installed by company staff not subcontractors. Cannot fault the lift, buying experience, installation, service. Good company ethos and made in UK.
From the very beginning with the initial construction to the finished product. I have never seen such polite men with an equal work ethic. They cleaned as they went each day. The pets were never in harm. The finished product is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased
Excellent from beginning to end – and beyond.
Everybody we dealt with at Stiltz was very helpful and efficient, from the initial meeting with Nick Sale, the sales rep, thorough technical inspection, the builders, installers, plumber, electrician, and excellent follow up service and attention. My husband’s life is transformed and mine is much easier. Thank you Stiltz.
Elegant lift, promptly installed by careful and tidy fitters who removed their rubbish the following day. A fair price and an envied addition to our home.
I have been astounded and gratified by the levels of service we have received from every member of the Stiltz teams we have dealt with. A superb lift with exceptional service!
An excellent company from the first contact to the completed project. All personnel were friendly and very polite but stayed extremely professional throughout. Having been in the construction industry for over 40 years I was aware the preparation work was carried out to a high standard by the best of trades people. The lift itself can not be faulted both the operation and aesthetics.
The service was better than 1st class. It was excellent in every way. We could not be more pleased with everything Stiltz applied it’s self to in any way. We would award 6 stars at the very least.
