Bungalow, maintenance is easier so is cleaning and heating. The whole house is usable because the stairs don't form a physical or psychological barrier.

I take it you're a rich man?! £9k to fit a stair lift at our house. 2 year minimum waiting list for local authority assistance and no point, because if you work, you don't get any financial assistance.

Also, stair lifts are no use if you rely 100% on a wheelchair.

Just googled it.

New stairlift prices are not fixed, as the cost will depend on several different factors, and can range anywhere from £2,000 to £6,000 and up. But think the cheaper is recon. Then there is the yearly maintenance and brake down costs. Plus electric to charge it.

My aunt has one. She didn't pay for it though.

I've noticed it's always switched on at the wall socket with a light.

I didn't know the electric charged them. Maybe she can turn it off now and again to save electricity.

She could but it might go flat half way up not so good and it will beep if the power is off to it as a warning. The battery and motor are on the lift in most I have seen. And the charging point is at the bottom as the work is getting up not controlling the down..

No, my office is downstairs, just off the kitchen. I make a point of going upstairs to the loo rather than use the downstairs one, or my daily step count would be around 30!

Think my ideal would be a top story luxurious Victorian flat with wooden double glazed sash windows, balconies & nice grounds shared by 3-4 flats.

I want luxury gardens I don’t have to maintain. I want the heating and economy of a luxurious apartment but the character of something 100+ years old

I’m currently in detached house but these and bungalows are expensive to hear and maintain unless very new.

Parents have a bungalow is has a couple of steps still linking the odd section/level and it just feels a bit too sprawling.

Not sure I could live in it I don’t like sleeping on the ground floor. Guess that will be governed by circumstances in the future.

Our stairs have a 180° turn in and end right by the front door with no space for the seat to "wait" without blocking the door. Soz we'd have to have a crazy bespoke thing installed. This is in a bog standard ex council house, not a mansion.

Refurbed would be no good and the cheap companies don't do bespoke.

I've lived in both. Prefer a house to be honest. Call me strange but I like the separation between daytime living and bedtime.

Especially if receiving visitors.

Just feels weird to me having bedroom, kitchen and living room on same level.
