What the petition asks
Help to buy makes it difficult to remortgage the property because you have to pay premium on equity to the government. If this is help to buy then why charge premium on equity. Take you money back but let the owner keep equity so that he/she can keep the mortgage payments in control.
Remortgage to pay equity back to govt makes payments stretched and make it difficult to run house expenses.
