Rejected petition Increase Help to Buy ISA and LISA property price cap or remove cap completely.

Increase the cap of Help to Buy and Lifetime ISA house price cap
Help to buy ISA and LISA encourage people to save for their first home, worth less than £250k outside London and £450k outside London by offering a government bonus. Average house prices across the country have risen dramatically.

More details

Many people are struggeling to buy property due to high housing prices. People have been saving using Help to buy Isa and LISa, to qualify for the goverment bonus. I have reached the stage to buy a house with my husband, but I am unable to as house prices in our are are over £250k, so 4 years of saving and relying on goverment bonus are gone. It is heartbreaking, i know we arent the only ones in the same position. I would like to ask cap to be increased or removed completely.
Thank you
