Help to Buy ISA
If you are saving to buy your first home, save money into a Help to Buy ISA and the government will boost your savings by 25%.
For every £200 you save, you receive a government bonus of £50. The maximum government bonus you can receive is £3,000. To receive this you must have saved £12,000. The minimum government bonus is £400, meaning you must save at least £1,600 before you can be eligible to claim your bonus.
The Help to Buy ISA will be available from a range of banks and building societies and is eligible to be used on any house with the cost of up to £250,000. They are available to each first time buyer, not each household. This means that if you are planning to buy with your partner, for example, you could receive a government bonus of up to £6,000 towards your first home.
In order to kick-start your account, in the first month, you can deposit a lump sum of up to £1,200. You must be aged 16 or over, a UK resident and be a first time buyer; not owning a property anywhere else in the world. For more information and eligibility please click here.
