Saving for First House, where should I put my money?

I have a help to buy isa where I've used the 1200 initial deposit and currently deposit 200 a month in to get the government help incentive.

But I'm currently putting a side and additional 400 a month which I'm leaving in a separate current account as I understand I'm not allowed two isa's. Is this the best thing to do or can I make a little extra on my 400 a month? Hope to have a 5% deposit for mortgage and little extra for other costs in 12 - 18 months so don't want anything to long term.
