Rejected petition: Urgent Reforms so people who work full-time can afford to buy a home.
Rejected on
People cannot afford to buy a home even if they are working full-time.
This is not right.
Working families are trapped paying rents that are higher than potential mortgage payments, leaving them unable to save. They feel locked out of a future that once seemed achievable.
Full-time work should provide a clear path to stable housing. We ask the Government to urgently review housing affordability and introduce reforms that:
Link house prices more closely to local wages
Tackle excessive rent burdens that prevent saving
Address speculative and investor-driven price inflation
Housing is not a luxury. It is the foundation of family life, financial security, and stability.
Restore fairness and make home ownership achievable again for ordinary working families.
