Help to Buy ISAs Mortgage Advice

The Help to Buy ISA and the Lifetime ISA (LISA) are government-backed savings accounts that give first-time buyers a bonus towards their deposit. The Help to Buy ISA offered a 25% bonus on savings up to £12,000, while the Lifetime ISA offers a 25% bonus on up to £4,000 saved each year.

Although the Help to Buy ISA closed to new accounts in November 2019, existing account holders can continue to save and claim their bonus until November 2029. The Lifetime ISA remains open and is the main government-backed savings vehicle for first-time buyers today.

At Clearview Mortgage Solutions, we help first-time buyers make the most of their ISA savings and government bonuses. Our advisers understand the rules around when and how the bonus is paid, and can ensure your purchase runs smoothly.
