Help To Buy ISA - More than £12k?

I have a Help To Buy ISA, which, as of January 2021 I will have saved the maximum £12k on which the government bonus will apply.
My question is: Is it better to continue to put more money in to my  until such time as I buy a property (which wont be for another 2-3 years) or should I start saving elsewhere once the ISA hits the £12k cap?

    If the HTB ISA pays better interest than other comparable accounts then stick with it, as you'll still get the interest even though you won't attract any more bonus beyond £3K.  Having said that, if you'll still be a year or more away from buying once you've hit the £12K, you might also wish to consider regular saver or fixed term products, as these may exceed HTB interest levels....
