Rejected petition Change the morgage criteria

To consider using benefits to get a mortgage

More details

This would help greatly with the housing problems
Some people can afford a mortgage on benefits but are unable to get one due to having to have a great credit report and a job earning 3 x more than the morgage or a guarantor
Most people do not have this but can easily afford a mortgage which is alot cheaper than private rentals

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about eligibility for mortgages are a matter for the mortgage provider, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
