Extend the current help to buy scheme under its current form past March 2021

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently the help to buy scheme will end March 2021 which will see previous hone owners no longer qualify. We would like to see the current version of the extended 12 months under the same criteria till March 2022
Due to the impact of the coronavirus lockdown and the rising redundancy rate since May 2020 many people have had to cancel and back out of there property purchases under this scheme and now have no time remaining to re start there house purchase. This will effect the housing and building industry and cause thousands of people to not be able to get on or back on the housing ladder
