Help to buy

Hi all,
I heard this help to buy saving account where you put in a certain amount and then the gov adds £50 free or something, also heard its for first time buyers
My next question is me and my girlfriend are looking to save, i have previously bought a home but borrowed the money for the deposit of my mum then when i sold it i gave my mum the money back but the mortgage was in my name
Now does this mean i cant get one of these accounts or can i keep quite and get one and no one will know? Sneaky!
Also if not can my gf get one and then use it when we buy a home because it will be her first home but my second so in theory surely she can use the account
If that makes sense
Thanks again everyone

You will not be able to open an account (help to buy ISA) but your girlfriend will. There's a lot of information on this website about them.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and should not be seen as financial advice.0
