Last chance to join the Help to Buy ISA scheme

7th August 2019 By bespoketax

Last chance to join the Help to Buy ISA scheme

The Help to Buy ISA scheme will close to new savers after 30 November 2019. This leaves less than 4 months to open an account before the product is due to be withdrawn by the Government. Once opened, account holders can continue to save in their ISA account until 30 November 2029 when accounts will close to additional contributions. Bonuses can be claimed until 1 December 2030.

The scheme allows savers to claim a Government bonus of 25% on monthly savings of up to £200 on savings towards their first home. The bonus translates to an extra £50 added to every £200 saved up to a maximum governmental contribution of £3,000 on £12,000 worth of savings.

Savers can make an initial deposit of £1,200 (the monthly maximum plus an extra £1,000). The bonus is only payable on the purchase of a first home. The scheme is limited to one per person (not one per home) so two people buying a home together can both receive a bonus. The bonus is available on home purchases of up to £450,000 in London and £250,000 outside London and can only be claimed against the deposit for a new home. It cannot be used to pay solicitors, estate agents or any other costs associated with buying a home.

If you are a first-time buyer and planning to buy a property in the short to medium term future, you should consider whether you would benefit from this scheme. The scheme is open to first-time buyers aged over 16.
