Many people think that the price of a home lift is very high, but that is a misconception. A home lift really does not have to be that expensive and it is a smart investment that adds great value to your home.

To give you a rough idea, a 2-floor home lift has a starting price of about 23 000-25 000 €. Basically, that means that if you can afford to purchase a new kitchen, you can afford to buy a home elevator. In addition, if you need a wheelchair lift for accessibility reasons, in many countries your local council offers subsidies that you can apply for to install a lift at home, like the DFG (Disabled Facilities Grant) for residents of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, for example.

On this page we give you some useful tips on what to think about when purchasing a lift and examples of pitfalls to avoid, when comparing lift types and prices.
