Nationwide help to buy isa

Hi can you use these accounts for each person buying a house. I'm buying a help to buy with my wife can I open one in mine and one in hers and get the bonus and use them together to purchase the house or is it one account per home?

Thanks

  • both get bonus
  • You can get one help to buy isa per first time buyer so if you are both first time buyers you can both open one each. If for example your wife owned a house in the past then only you can open h2b isa and get a bonus for the purchase of a house even if you are buying together.
