LISA for a person joining a Co-op

Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi!
I'm wanting to start a LISA account with the aim of getting 25% extra back from the government in a few years time when I'm ready to buy for the first time.
However, my situation is a little different from the norm, and my fear is that if I don't check properly that my situation is covered, then I will lose out and also have to pay 25% of what I've put in (see blogpost 'What is a Lifetime ISA' , tip #5), actually losing me quite a substantial amount of money.
My plan is to buy into either a property, or piece of land that can be built on with several of my friends. I see that partners are both allowed to pay into separate LISAs and use them both when buying together. But is the same true with a greater number of people buying in together?
TIA!

Lifetime ISA investors can also purchase a residential property either:
- jointly with other purchasers, whether or not the other purchasers are also first time purchasers (there is no limit to the number of individuals who can purchase a single residential property together)
