Help for First Time Home Buyers

Petition For More Help for First Time Home Buyers 

The Government has a number of schemes on the go for first time buyers – more shared ownership options, low cost housing, using infill land etc – but eligibility is typically narrow, availability low and the impact very small. In our view at FirstRungNow, their attitude to stamp duty is poor and we'd like to see change - they could do alot more to help! Influence housing policy - get stamp duty abolished for first time buyers!

Please sign up and be counted!

Tick the boxes you agree with.

I think the government could do more for first time buyers
Stamp duty should be abolished for FTBs
Landlords of 1 and 2 bedroom properties should have their gross income supertaxed
Government schemes should be more widely available to non-key-workers
People joining forces to afford a first home should receive tax relief
There should be more investment in employment outside London and the South East
Gazumping should be outlawed
My idea of how the government could really help FTBs is:
