Help to Buy vs Lifetime ISA

Hey all

Im sorry if this subject has been done to death :D I would just like some advice regarding where to put our savings.

Myself and my partner obviously want to top up our savings for a deposit for a mortgage. We both have a starting point of 2 grand each but I'm not sure which ISA to use. We can't apply for a mortgage yet as I'm still trying to get my credit record to where it should be to give us a reasonable chance of being accepted.

It will probably ne at least a year before we start applying but I have no clue which ISA to go for. Iv read up on them both but keep changing my mind which is best for us. Help! :)

    If you meet the age criteria and not buying for at least a year I would go for the LISA but others may disagree
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......
