Can a home lift add more than accessibility to a new development?

The Crescent in Thame, an award-winning residential developer, Rectory Homes has shown how accessibility, thoughtful design and futureproofing can work together from the very beginning.

Working with Gartec Lifts , our Aritco Certified Partner, the development incorporates the Aritco HomeLift Compact into its prestigious three-storey homes, giving residents easy access across every floor while complementing the architecture and interior design!

For Rectory Homes, the decision was about more than accessibility. The lifts have become a valuable part of the overall property specification, helping to:

🔹 Futureproof homes as residents' needs change

🔹 Make three-storey living accessible to a wider range of buyers

🔹 Add a distinctive feature to support sales and marketing

🔹 Increase the long-term desirability of each property

🔹 Provide everyday convenience without compromising on design

As Andrew Stevens, Associate Buying Director at Rectory, explains:

“The lifts have undoubtedly added value to the properties and have been a positive feature in both sales and marketing.”

It is an important consideration for developers. Designing for accessibility today does not have to mean compromising on aesthetics. Done well, it can create better homes, broaden buyer appeal and help developments remain desirable for generations to come.
