Given the size of the occupants who went up in one, in the last episode of 'Escape to the Chateau', I don't think you need have any worries, Malc !

Saw it! Love the show! He's good value for money!

In a house ? This lift is perfect for a house. Minimum height needed at first floor level is 2.7m. You can't do that with cables.
And cost? No idea what the price would be for a cable lift but I'll wager it is significantly more than this elegant solution.

I would have though a cable could go sideways, as well as up and down. just need a pulley wheel to change direction. then the motor could be anywhere ?

Nah.....I used to design them into buildings all the time. A lot of disabled lifts are pushed up from below by hydraulics, rather than hauled up from above by cables. But again, simple, known technology which works beautifully, and cheaply. As for floor heights, well, I've designed and overseen disabled lifts which only went up a metre or so. I say again, a vacuum system is utterly unnecessary. It may look neat, with the lack of any visible means of support for the "car", but it's pointless.

but I'd imagine a counter weighted lift, wouldn't take much moving , however it's powered ?

How would you counter weight a lift that has to ascend both empty as well as fully loaded?

You could at least counter weight the empty lift weight. Even a little more, so you are lifting the weights when it's empty, or a person or 2 when it's occupied.
I'd go for the lift weight, plus half the intended payload as a starting point for calculations ?
