{"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/765385.json"},"data":{"type":"petition","id":765385,"attributes":{"action":"Act to mitigate costs & end re-mortgage restrictions for shared ownership homes","background":"Introduce laws to require housing associations to pay their share of repairs in line with ownership; allow reasonable remortgaging; enforce low-cost staircasing timelines; limit rent increases; and ensure a clear, affordable route to sell. We believe this will make things fairer. ","additional_details":"We believe shared ownership is leaving families trapped. Leaseholders pay 100% of repairs despite part ownership, face rising rents, and are blocked from remortgaging or buying more shares. Costly delays and restrictions can create debt and stress, especially for low-income households. We feel this system lacks fairness and accountability. Reform is needed to protect residents, prevent exploitation, and restore shared ownership as a genuine, affordable path to home ownership.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":13,"created_at":"2026-03-25T20:22:17.566Z","updated_at":"2026-04-27T22:14:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-24T09:25:30.179Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-25T20:57:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Anthony Barnes","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":13}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Brent West","ons_code":"E14001123","mp":"Barry Gardiner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol North East","ons_code":"E14001133","mp":"Damien Egan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Cotswolds","ons_code":"E14001386","mp":"Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"South Cotswolds","ons_code":"E14001482","mp":"Dr Roz Savage MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":11}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
