RAAC Victim Justice – National Support Fund, New Legislation & public Inquiry

Closed 693 signatures

What the petition asks

We are concerned that many families across the UK face homelessness, bankruptcy, and trauma after being forced from homes made unsafe by RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete).
These homeowners did nothing wrong — yet are left to shoulder the burden of institutional failure and unsafe construction practices.

We believe many ex-council homeowners face bankruptcy and homelessness after RAAC was found in right-to-buy properties. We call for a national compensation fund and a public inquiry into government and council handling of RAAC. We seek laws mandating high-risk building registers, defect reporting by surveyors/solicitors, and 60-year developer liability. We believe mortgage interest should be banned on condemned homes, and first-time buyer status restored for affected owners. We want justice now.
