1.5M UK homes lie empty—demand gov’t act to sell them to ease housing crisis.
With 1.5M homes vacant in the UK, why build costly new ones? We urge the government to prioritize releasing vacant and second homes to buyers and families. This approach can ease the housing crisis, reduce environmental impact, and make better use of existing housing stock.
Releasing 1.5M vacant and second homes for sale can address the housing crisis faster and more sustainably than building new homes. This approach minimizes environmental impact, saves on construction costs, and provides immediate relief to families. Utilising existing housing stock also revitalises communities and reduces waste, ensuring efficient use of resources.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you'd like the Government to act to make empty homes available to others, but we are not sure what specific action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
