Complex Help to Buy ISA question!

HI all,

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread.

My daughter has a Help To Buy ISA and she is buying a property with her boyfriend. The property has already been bought via an auction as her boyfriends father gave him the funds to buy outright (there as a time limit to buy the house) until they arranged a joint mortgage. They have been advised by mortgage advisors that as the house is in my daughters boyfriends name that she wouldn't be able to use her Help to Buy and bonus as it would be classed as a remortgage?

Is this correct and is there a way for her to be able to get to use her Help to Buy bonus from her ISA?
