I am a first-time homeowner who saved for years to buy my property, only to be met with disappointment and deceit. Upon moving in, I discovered that I had been misled about service charges and found 125 snags due to poor build quality. This is not just my story; it's the story of many homeowners who have experienced everything from flooding to mould, gas leaks, and more.

Property developers like Persimmon are selling homes that are unfit for habitation without taking responsibility for the numerous issues that arise post-sale. This lack of accountability is unacceptable. It's time we demand better.

In the UK alone, an estimated 99% of new homeowners report problems with their properties (source: New Homes Review). These issues range from minor inconveniences to major safety hazards - all because developers prioritise sales over quality.

We need legislation that holds property developers accountable for the state of their builds at point-of-sale and beyond. We also need transparency around service charges so buyers can make informed decisions.

Sign this petition if you believe in higher standards for new builds and transparency in our housing market. Together we can ensure no one else has to experience what so many have already endured.
