Overcoming barriers
How can these be overcome?
Home modifications, minor fixtures and fittings or equipment items are an effective way of making homes easier to access. Over 100 ways to improve access at home identifies solutions that would make it easier for you to live in your home.
Some of these solutions include items that are:
- portable (can be taken with you if you move)
- easy to install or remove (by yourself or a handy/tradesperson)
- reasonably inexpensive to purchase and/or install (in comparison with major home modifications) or
- small structural alterations completed by a tradesperson.
The price and installation of the items may vary depending on the quality of the product, the brand name, the design of your home, the type of item being installed and the availability of products.
In some instances more extensive modifications may be required. Useful contacts lists organisations that may be of assistance. Tenants rights and responsibilities provides information on making changes or alterations to rental properties.
