A first-time buyer’s home may cost around £180,000 in Yorkshire compared with around £465,000 in London, meaning support varies by location. \r\n \r\nWe want a tiered threshold system based on regional housing costs, reviewed every five years against inflation, house prices and affordability. This could help more people move from renting into ownership, improve housing mobility and support the wider market.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":14,"closing_date":"2027-03-08","created_at":"2026-08-03T11:08:00.461Z","updated_at":"2026-09-08T15:09:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-09-08T10:46:42.088Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-04T16:34:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Laura Mitchell","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"HMT","name":"HM Treasury","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-treasury"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":14}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Blackley and Middleton South","ons_code":"E14001103","mp":"Graham Stringer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cities of London and Westminster","ons_code":"E14001172","mp":"Rachel Blake MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hackney South and Shoreditch","ons_code":"E14001260","mp":"Dame Meg Hillier MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hampstead and Highgate","ons_code":"E14001265","mp":"Tulip Siddiq MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hitchin","ons_code":"E14001289","mp":"Alistair Strathern MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Hornsey and Friern Barnet","ons_code":"E14001293","mp":"Catherine West MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham West and East Dulwich","ons_code":"E14001333","mp":"Rt Hon Ellie Reeves KC MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Streatham and Croydon North","ons_code":"E14001527","mp":"Rt Hon Steve Reed MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tooting","ons_code":"E14001550","mp":"Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wimbledon","ons_code":"E14001586","mp":"Mr Paul Kohler MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":3},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":9},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
