HTB Property Price Cap
Hi, I want to open a HTB ISA but it seems pointless as there is a cap of £250k on properties outside of London. I live in Hertfordshire and will be looking to buy a property for around £275/300k (you can only buy a 1 bed flat for £250k now!). With the rise in house prices since the HTB opened, is it not possible to create…

Hi, This is possibly the most simple of all simple questions but I've tried to find an answer and I can't :-/ I have just started a LISA with Hargreaves Lansdown with the intention of using it for saving for retirement (on top of pension obviously).

Transferring existing LISA into a new LISA after age 40?
If I open just one LISA before I turn 40, is it possible to transfer the entire balance into a new LISA after I'm 40, or am I committed to stay with the same LISA provider (and same LISA type) from age 40 onwards? My situation is as follows. My 40th birthday is in 2 weeks from now, so I have time to open one LISA (either…

More than one cash ISA
I've recently opened a LISA and I also currently have an instant cash ISA which I opened a few years ago. Is it possible to open another cash ISA, as long as I keep below the £20,000 ISA allowance?
