Thanks for the video. I have a question please: what if you're not going to buy a house any more? The details on the banks website specify that it is only for 1st time buyer. It does not mention to move this kind of ISA into a normal ISA. It is also written (Santander) that you can receive the 25% bonus only when you close the account to buy the house.

Maria Ferrara you can still open a lifetime ISA to save for retirement even if you have already bought or have no plans to buy a property

Hi, Nice video. I have a question. Can I invest in three ISA i.e my stocks and shares ISA and my lifetime ISA and Help to Buy ISA in the same tax year (as long as all the three investments don't exceed a total of 20k)? Thanks.

What if I take up a Lisa in February 2018 and stockpiling £4000 before the end of the tax year(April, so just 2 months)...Will I get the bonus by keeping that account open just for two months? In that case, say that I can consider that bonus as granted, can I start contributing in putting money for the consequent tax year bonus?

Do you have to add the 4k in one single payment to get the full 1k bonus? I'm thinking about opening one but I'm not sure if it's a good time as we are nearly at the end of the tax year date and I'm worried I wouldn't get the full benefit if I didn't put 4k in by the end the tax year so should I wait until after this date to open one?

@alynata 2 жыл бұрын
You don't have to add 4k in one payment. You can do as many payments as you like. Start it as soon as possible and add to it as much as possible. You will get £2.5 for every £10 you add in it.

What if me and my partner realise in the future, we wanted to buy a first house worth over £450k? Would we be able to withdraw the money without the withdrawal charge and losing the bonus? Or would be have to wait until retirement to get the money without the bonus and with a withdrawal fee?

Can i have a help to buy isa and lifetime isa and pay in them both in the same year? I opened a help to buy for my daughter just before it closed. We don't have any plans for her to buy a house in the next couple of years. Are there any benefits and is it possible to have a help to buy and LIsa open at the same time and pay into them both in the same year? e.g could she pay £4000 in the LISA and £2000 in to the Help to buy? I know you can only get the bonus from 1 to use on the property so i'm thinking...... If she saved £4000 per year in the help to and then used that to buy her house eventually in say 5 years, the bonus would be higher than she could ever get in the help to buy. However, the interest rate on the help to buy is better than a current account or any saver at the moment. So, i'm thinking to continue to pay into the help to buy as well. BUT, would she loose all the interest that she has gained on the help to buy when she finally withdraws it after 5 years or in 2030 or is it just the gov bonus that she would loose? Thank you.

Hi Cassandra - with the LISA if you decide not to buy a house, you can either: 1: Withdraw the money and you will be penalised 25% on the full amount leaving you with less than you originally put in. 2: Wait until you are 60 and withdraw it with no penalty.

That is correct - however you could deposit £4000 in March 2020 and £4000 in April 2020 and get £2000 bonus (£1000 each financial year). Could be worth it if you can wait that long :)

Miss Gina Williams Hi Gina, you cant open 2 LISA’s as an individual (But if you have a partner then they could open one also). If you opened a LISA now you could deposit up to £4000 and then get the full bonus for this financial year 19/20 and then deposit £4000 in April in the new tax year 20/21! Hope that makes sense!

Yes, unless you are withdrawing for purposes other than retirement or buying your first home then you will faced a penalty. But if you are using it to purchase your first home , you can continue to use that LISA and received the same bonus until you are 50 for retirement.

This government schema is absolute shite. You can't buy a decent home these days for 450k unless you are up north - and that isn't even taking into account the inevitable rise of house prices over the next 10 years which is how long you would need to save for a deposit. I don't get why they have that cap.
