Increase the price cap for the Help to Buy ISA scheme outside of London

Closed 117 signatures

What the petition asks

The price cap for properties outside of London is capped at £250,000. With the average purchase price now circa £270,000 it puts an unfair disadvantage on prospective home owners outside of London and many will not be able to claim the 25% Gov contribution despite saving tirelessly since 2015.
To enable everyone a fairer chance of becoming a home owner in an already difficult economy, and utilising their right to the Help to Buy ISA 25% Government contribution.
