Help to buy scheme to revert back to allowing previous home owners to use

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I feel middle aged “first time buyers” have been forgotten about, lots of help for younger people to get on the housing ladder but none for us who have lost our houses in the recession or through divorce.
Because there is a certain age group that has been forgotten about
