What the petition asks
The Help To Buy Scheme is set to change in April 2021, Due to the recent impact Covid 19 has had on the building trade, I like many others find ourselves in the situation that the properties we have put deposits won't be built in time for us to be eligible for the current scheme.
I think the Government should extend the current Help To Buy Scheme to allow for the impact Covid 19 had on the building trade.
The Goverment have extended deadlines for many other issues due to Covid 19 and I feel this is just as important for people who had planned to get there first step on the property ladder.
