What the petition asks
There is a list of acceptable reasons to leave the UK.
Please add “to check on a second home outside of the UK” to the list.
Please add “to check on a second home outside of the UK” to the list.
Second home owners are not tourists. Owning a second home abroad comes with responsibilities and they need to be able to check on their homes.
Some homes abroad have been standing empty for more than a year - to continue to ban homeowners from seeing their houses is unfair.
