Hello
My partner has a help to buy ISA. I am in the process of deciding whether to get a LISA or Help to Buy ISA. However, if I went for the ISA, can we use the 25% bonus on both respectively, even though we will be buying a house together?

Yes, if you are both first time buyers, you can each claim the 25% bonus on your respective savings. I've just done so with my boyfriend (we both had a HTB ISA). You can also mix and match i.e. 1 of you has a HTB ISA and the other has a LISA.Wedding savings Jan 19: £1.4k. Sept 19: £7.5k. Mar 20: £12.6k
Goal: Pay for wedding by August 2020
