This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you'd like anyone who isn't a British citizen to be banned from buying property in London, or whether you'd like people to be banned from buying properties that aren't their main residence (as an investment rather than somewhere to live).
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
