The Lifetime ISA is a new, modern way for first time buyers in Hull to get onto the property ladder and move into their dream home.
An ISA, or Individual Savings Account, is a savings vehicle for accumulating funds for a mortgage. The Lifetime ISA, in particular, offers more than a basic savings account. With a Lifetime ISA, the more you save, the greater the benefit. Additionally, all contributions and returns in a Lifetime ISA are tax-free, making it an attractive option for savers who want to keep more of their hard-earned money.
It’s crucial to remember that withdrawals from a Lifetime ISA should be avoided after saving for a deposit, this is because you will get charged every time that you withdraw. When beginning the mortgage process, inform your mortgage advisors in Hull of your Lifetime ISA, and they will guide you on how to use it as your deposit. Your solicitor requires the savings to remain in the ISA for it to be eligible for use.
You have the flexibility to make deposits into your savings account weekly, monthly, or yearly. As a mortgage broker in Hull, we suggest depositing on a weekly or monthly basis.
Your Lifetime ISA yearly savings is capped at £4,000, approximately equating to £333 a month. At the end of every tax year, you the government will top up your savings by 25% of whatever you have saved. So, if you manage to save the maximum of £4,000, you will receive £1,000 extra in your ISA. Even if you manage to save £2,500 in the year, you will still gain a £500 bonus.
That’s how easy it is! Just save and watch your money grow.
If you have a Lifetime ISA and are looking to begin your mortgage process, we have mortgage advisors in Hull ready to help you with the process. We will help you find the most appropriate deal based on your personal and financial situation. With your Lifetime ISA and potential own savings, you may have a large deposit ready to put down a property.
At Hullmoneyman, all customers can easily book a free mortgage appointment by answering a few questions in our get started form. If you want to find out more about the Lifetime ISA and how it can help you get a mortgage, feel free to reach out to us. We are available 7 days a week, from early mornings to late evenings or weekends. Choose a date and time that works best for you, and well provide you with open and honest mortgage advice in Hull!
Once your money has been deposited into your Lifetime ISA, it will cost you to take it back out. So, yes, you can withdraw from your ISA, but you will be charged a 25% withdrawal fee. If you want to take out all of the money inside of your ISA valued at £1,250 (including a year’s £250 bonus), you will only get £1,000 and your bonus will be taken back off you.
This is why we recommend that you only deposit into your Lifetime ISA if you are certain that you will not need that money for anything else. If you have a busy month planned, you may be best lowering your weekly Lifetime ISA deposits so that you are not withdrawing at the end of the month.
The Lifetime ISA can only be used to buy your first home or as savings for later in life. As a mortgage broker in Hull, we are only able to offer our help when you are buying your first property. Check out our Lifetime ISA YouTube video below or continue down the page to find out whether you qualify for the scheme.
To open a Lifetime ISA, you must be a UK resident between the ages of 18 and 39. You must also be a first-time homebuyer or plan to use it for retirement savings.
The main benefits of a Lifetime ISA include a government bonus of 25% on your contributions (up to a maximum limit), tax-free growth, and the flexibility to use the funds for buying your first home or saving for retirement.
You can save up to £4,000 per tax year in a Lifetime ISA. The government will provide a 25% bonus on your contributions, meaning if you save the maximum, you'll receive a bonus of £1,000.
If you withdraw money from your Lifetime ISA for a non-qualifying reason (not for buying your first home or retirement), you'll incur a 25% withdrawal penalty. This means you'll lose the government bonus and may also have to pay additional fees, resulting in a net loss.

No, a Lifetime ISA must be opened and funded by the account holder, who must be between the ages of 18 and 39. However, you can gift money to your child or grandchild to help them fund their own Lifetime ISA.
No, you cannot use the funds in a Lifetime ISA to purchase a property with the intent to rent it out. The property must be for your own residence, not for investment or rental purposes.
No, you can only hold one Lifetime ISA at a time. If you want to transfer it to a different provider, you can do so, but you can't contribute to multiple Lifetime ISAs in the same tax year.
Remember that the rules and regulations related to Lifetime ISAs can change, so it's advisable to consult with a mortgage advisor in Hull or the government's official website for the most up-to-date information.
In order to access government-led mortgage schemes, including the Lifetime ISA, you must first meet certain requirements. Here’s a list of the Lifetime ISA requirements:
Our mortgage advisors in Hull are often approached by couples wanting to combine their Lifetime ISAs. This is allowed, even if one party already owns a property. It’s possible to open a Lifetime ISA while owning a house, but unless merged with an applicant who has not purchased property, funds can only be used for later-life savings, which can be withdrawn at age 60 or above.
