Depending on the weight / Height of the person that needs it Kazal, this company can advise you as they deal with mobility, Millercare, Accrington Lancashire, Google it.

Hi Kazal
As 237SJ posted, Acorn are sharks - avoid like the plague. Had a very serious problem with them some years ago.

You can purchased used Stair Lift Electric chairs Kazal, there are sites that sell but be careful of 2nd hand, if that's the route you want to take and see one, ask many Questions regards the Movement UP/ DOWN, safety ON / OFF, recommended weight, where it was made, are parts available, EG/ New hand sets for usage, does the seat twist /turn & does this movement work.

it looks like depending on where you are in wilts, you might be just on the edge of the AST area - why don't you give them a ring?

If the requirement is due to ill health, you may be able to get one free via your local hospital's Occupational Health dept.
