Help to Buy

Hi.
I am interested to know if I qualify to open a Help to Buy ISA. I was a named person on a mortgage for 12 months in a house I owned with my partner. Unfortunately, it has not worked out and my ex partner is now buying me out of the property. Although I was a named person, I technically did not contribute to the payments of the mortgage, or to the original deposit used to purchase the house. I know it states that you cannot open an help to buy if you have owned a property - which I understand I technically have - I just wondered if there was any way around it.
Thanks

No you didn't "technically" own a property, legally you owned a property. So unfortunately you don't qualify for the HTB ISA.0
