Can I keep my help to buy ISA?

Hi,
I have money invested in a help to buy isa with Halifax but due to a change in circumstances I no longer qualify as a first time buyer.
My question is - am I able to keep the isa open? It's pays far more interest than any other savings account or ISAs at thew moment so would like to keep it in there.
Thanks

    No, you could probably hang on to it for the remainder of the tax year, but you must annually declare you still qualify to hold it and to do so when not a FTB would be fraudulent.
