Me and my partner got 4k from our Help to Buy ISAs. We didn’t want to do LISA as his parents are homeowners/elderly/unwell so there was potential for him and his siblings to jointly inherit a house before we’d fully saved up and bought a place, and if that happened we’d need the money from our savings but wouldn’t be considered first time buyers, so we’d have to pay the withdrawal fee. You can only withdraw from a LISA for a first house or over the age of 60, or you pay a penalty. You can withdraw from a HTB whenever you want, with no penalty.
Anyway. Back to business as usual
