Stop international buyers purchasing in London to bring inflation down and make homes more affordable for Londoners.
Stop international buyers purchasing in London to bring inflation down and make homes more affordable for Londoners.
There are hundreds of thousands of empty homes in England which are owned by overseas investors while there are millions of people that are homeless.
Sign this petition so the government acknowledge this and help Londoners stay in London and get on the property ladder!

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you'd like anyone who isn't a British citizen to be banned from buying property in London, or whether you'd like people to be banned from buying properties that aren't their main residence (as an investment rather than somewhere to live).
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
