Second hand stairlifts

Privately buying a second hand stairlift

A second hand stairlift seems like a good idea. You get the perks of the independence a stairlift brings, but at a lower cost. Then you ask yourself – is it a good idea?

There are lots of factors to think about if you’re buying a second hand stairlift privately. Here are some of the main ones:

• How will you install it?
• How will you know if it’s safe?
• What if something goes wrong during the installation or afterwards?
• How will you know if it’s in good condition? It might be right at the end of its working life.
• If it’s curved, it wasn’t made for your house. This might mean it takes up more room on your stairs, doesn’t fit together as well or doesn’t fit your stairs at all.

Privately buying a second hand stairlift can work out, but there is a lot more room for error. You may well end up paying more in the long run, because just about anything could go wrong – the lift could need replacement parts and it could even be installed unsafely. Who do you call if something goes wrong?
