More and more people are searching for single-storey homes right now.

Not because they want to move…
But because the stairs are starting to feel like a problem.

Here’s the thing most people don’t realise 👇

Moving sounds simple — until you look at the reality.

Stamp duty.
Agent fees.
Packing up your life.
Leaving a home you love.

It adds up fast… and it’s a lot more disruptive than people expect.

That’s why we’re seeing more homeowners in Perth choosing a different option —
making their existing home work for them long-term.

A lift isn’t something most people think about straight away…
but once they do, it completely changes what’s possible.

Stay in the home you love.
Keep your space, your memories, your location.

Just without the stairs being the deciding factor.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking
“maybe we’ll need to move one day…”

It’s worth knowing — you might not have to.

“I thought I didn’t have space for a lift… until I saw this.”

We hear that a lot from homeowners — and honestly, it makes sense.

When you first look at your home, it’s easy to assume a lift just won’t work.

Not enough room.
Too much work involved.
House just wasn’t built for it.

But what we’ve found over and over is that once we actually take a proper look, that assumption often changes pretty quickly.

Homes can be surprisingly flexible. There are more options than most people realise — different lift styles, different placements, and sometimes areas of the home that aren’t obvious at first glance.

We’ve installed lifts in spaces where clients were almost certain it couldn’t be done… and in a lot of those cases, it ended up being more straightforward than they expected.

Every home is different, so there’s never a blanket answer. But “no space” is usually not the full story.

If it’s something you’ve been unsure about, it’s worth chatting it through before ruling it out completely.

Sometimes the solution is already there — it just hasn’t been seen yet.

The biggest mistake people make when planning to age in place?

Waiting until something forces the decision.

We meet so many homeowners who genuinely love where they live —
the home they’ve built, the memories in it, the area they know so well. But over time, the stairs start to become the one thing that changes how the home feels.

At first it’s nothing.
Then it’s a bit inconvenient.
Then one day… it’s the reason they feel like they might have to leave.

And by that point, it’s no longer a calm, well-thought-out decision —
it’s rushed, stressful, and often far more expensive than expected.

Planning ahead isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about giving yourself options, so you’re not forced into a decision later.

Because staying in the home you love should always feel like a choice.

If this is something that’s been on your mind, even in the background, it’s worth having a conversation earlier than you think.

We’re seeing more and more people putting their homes on the market… and a lot of the time, it comes down to one thing — the stairs.

It’s not that they want to leave.
It just starts to feel like they don’t have much choice.

But what doesn’t always get talked about is how expensive that decision actually is.

With Perth house prices around the $1M mark, even downsizing isn’t cheap. By the time you find something suitable, you’re often still spending big money.

On a $1.5M purchase, stamp duty alone is roughly $68,000.
Then you’ve got agent fees, marketing, removalists… it adds up quickly. You can easily be into six figures just to move.

And that’s before you even think about what you’re leaving behind.

So it’s worth asking a different question…

What if you didn’t have to move?

That $68K in stamp duty is often more than the cost of installing a home lift.

Instead of spending that money to leave, you could put it into your current home and make it work for you.

Stay in the place you know.
Stay close to your neighbours.
Stay where your life already is.

Just without the stairs being a problem.

Before you decide to sell, it might be worth thinking about —
do you really need to move, or do you just need a better way to live in your home?

We’ve just completed a SWIFT Pro installation in a stunning new build down near Denmark, WA — and it’s a perfect example of how a lift can complement a home, not compromise it.

This home has been designed around sustainability and self-sufficiency, so the owners needed a lift that aligned with that vision. The SWIFT was the clear choice.

It’s fully battery-powered, uses minimal energy, and even recharges as it travels down — meaning roughly every fourth trip is essentially free. Combined with the EcoDrive system, it keeps running costs low while reducing overall energy use.

It’s also connected to the home’s independent power setup, making it a smart, future-focused solution.

The build isn’t quite finished yet, but it’s already shaping up to be something special — and we’re proud to have been part of it.

If you’re building or planning ahead, it’s worth thinking about how a lift can be designed in from the start — not just for convenience, but for long-term living.

Most people don’t really want to leave their home…
it just starts to feel like they don’t have much choice.

The stairs get a bit tougher.
You catch yourself thinking, “what if I slip one day?”
And before you know it, moving feels like the only way forward.

But here’s the thing people don’t always think about…

Moving isn’t just a financial decision — it’s a personal one.

It’s leaving the home where everything happened.
Where the kids grew up.
Where birthdays, Christmases, and everyday life played out.
Even the neighbours you’ve known for years.

And then there’s the cost side of it.
Agent fees, stamp duty, removalists… it all adds up pretty quickly. You can end up spending a small fortune just to start again somewhere else.

So maybe the better question is:

What if you didn’t actually have to move?

A home lift can make a huge difference. It means you can keep living in the home you love, just without the stairs getting in the way.

Stay where you’re comfortable.
Stay where your life is.
Just make it easier on yourself.

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞…”

Most people don’t look into a home lift because they 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 one right now.

They look into it after:

* A fall
* Knee or hip issues
* Parents moving in
* Stairs suddenly becoming a daily struggle

And the comment we hear all the time?

“We wish we had done this earlier.”

Not because they couldn’t manage before…
But because adding a lift after things become difficult is often more stressful, more urgent, and sometimes more expensive.

The interesting part is — a lot of our clients are now planning ahead.

They’re building or renovating with the future in mind:
✔ Making sure they can stay in the home long-term
✔ Avoiding major changes later
✔ Keeping independence without having to move

A lift isn’t just about today — it’s about making sure your home still works for you in 5, 10, 20 years.

If you’ve ever thought about “future-proofing” your home, even just a little bit, it might be worth having a conversation earlier than you think.

Feel free to reach out if you’re curious — even if it’s just to understand what’s possible.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞?

Short answer: 𝐲𝐞𝐬 — 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.

Long answer (the bit people don’t always realise):

It’s usually not about if you can add a lift… it’s about 𝐡𝐨𝐰 you do it.

Every home is a little different, but there are a few common ways we make it work:

• Through-floor (inside the home)
These are popular because they don’t require a full shaft. The lift travels through a simple cut-out between floors and can often be positioned in a spare corner, near a stair void, or even within a cupboard space.

• Internal shaft (if space allows)
If you’ve got the room, we can build a more traditional shaft inside — but this can involve more structural work, so it’s not always the first option in an existing home.

• External shaft (a really underrated option)
When space inside is tight, adding a shaft on the outside of the home can actually be the easiest and least disruptive solution. It also means you don’t have to sacrifice internal layout or living space.

The biggest factors we look at are:

Available space (inside and outside)
Structure of the home
Access between floors
Your budget and how far you want to go with building works

A lot of people assume their home “won’t work” — but more often than not, there’s a solution they just haven’t considered yet.

If you’re curious, the easiest next step is just having someone take a look (even photos can be enough to start with). You’ll usually find it’s more achievable than you think.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬… 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭?

These are two of the first questions homeowners usually ask us — especially when lifts are going in near bedrooms, close to neighbours, or being used by older family members.

A good residential lift shouldn’t draw attention to itself every time it runs. When it’s designed properly, it just becomes part of everyday life. Many modern battery-driven lifts are far quieter than people expect — often quieter than appliances already running in the home.

Power outages are another big concern, and this is where lift systems really differ:
🔹 Some lifts simply stop
🔹 Others rely entirely on mains power
🔹 Battery-driven lifts keep operating and will safely return to a level

These details really matter — not just for convenience, but for safety, peace of mind, and meeting council requirements.

Taking the time to ask the right questions before choosing a lift can make a huge difference to how confident and comfortable you feel living with it long-term.

Have questions about noise or power outages? Ask us — these are things you deserve clear answers on.

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬?

Not at all — and this surprises many people.

We regularly speak with homeowners who assume a home lift must be large, expensive, or designed only for wheelchairs.
In reality, single-person home lifts are one of the most popular choices for people wanting to stay independent in a multi-storey home.

At Perth Lift Company, single-person lifts are ideal if you:
✔ Live alone or as a couple
✔ Want to avoid stairs as you age
✔ Have limited space
✔ Prefer a discreet, compact solution

These lifts:
• Have a small footprint
• Integrate neatly into existing homes
• Are cost-effective
• Are designed for everyday comfort and safety — not hospitals

For many of our clients, a single-person lift is the difference between staying in the home they love or feeling forced to move.
