Petition Action

Make Homebuyers Reports in the UK include helpful dimensions for the disabled.

Petition Details

We want important dimensions mandatorily included in Home/Homebuyers Reports and Surveys.

Additional Information

According to the Government website “In the UK, 1 in 5 people have a disability”
We believe that all house sale Home/Homebuyers Reports in the UK should, to enable potential buyers the full information for their needs, include:
Door opening widths;
Step height, depths and number;
Ramp widths and degree of angle, if applicable.
This should be mandatory to give disabled people the information they require to decide whether a house is accessible for them.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

Decisions about what types of home survey to offer are a matter for individual businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require individuals selling a property to provide certain information, along the lines of that you outline in your petition, if that's something you'd like to happen.
