Do you want to own your own home?
Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) Conservatives believe home ownership should be an option for all local people.
With this principle in mind, the local Conservative Council has launched H&F HomeBuy—a major new initiative to promote home ownership.
When Labour ran H&F Council their idea of 'affordable' housing was only to build homes for rent, keeping the dream of home ownership away from local people.
A Notting Hill Housing Trust survey has shown that 75% of social housing tenants want to own their homes. Also, a Rowntree Trust survey found 42.3% of households under 40 in H&F cannot access social housing and cannot afford to buy.
Local Conservatives believe in opportunity—and enabling low cost home ownership plays a major role in that.

SHAUN BAILEY—a strong voice for Hammersmith
Hammersmith Conservatives have selected local campaigner Shaun Bailey as their prospective candidate for at the next General Election.
Shaun grew up in Hammersmith and attended Henry Compton School in Fulham. Shaun is exactly the person we need to represent us here in Hammersmith.
Shaun thinks Hammersmith is a great place with lots of potential but—as someone that spends his life working with difficult people in difficult places—he understands that violent crime and anti-social behaviour are dragging the place down. Shaun has the experience and the positive attitude to do something about it.
Shaun is a big supporter of Hammersmith people being able to own their own homes, and thinks it is a cornerstone to regeneration.
Communities with higher home ownership become very different places, where people choose to live, owning a stake in their neighbourhood—and have something to pass on to their children.
Most of all, Shaun rejects the idea that things must stay the same.
