By
Levi Winchester
Summary
The UK Government has announced a new First Time Buyer ISA that will replace the existing Lifetime ISA. The new account is designed specifically for first-time homebuyers, offering a savings bonus similar to the Lifetime ISA. However, unlike the Lifetime ISA which can also be used for retirement (accessible from age 60), the First Time Buyer ISA will be strictly limited to purchasing a first home and will not be available for retirement savings.
