The Lifetime ISA is a savings scheme designed to help first-time buyers in Cardiff build their deposit.
If you’re aged 18 to 39, you can save up to £4,000 each tax year, and the government will top it up with a 25% bonus, up to £1,000 annually.
That’s a serious boost if you’re planning to buy your first home.
The money must be used to buy a property or saved until you’re 60.
With house prices in Cardiff offering better value than some other cities, the Lifetime ISA gives you a real chance to get moving sooner, especially when paired with tailored mortgage advice in Cardiff.
Once your account is open, you can deposit money either monthly or in lump sums.
For every £4 you put in, the government adds £1, which means your savings grow faster.
After 12 months, you can use the funds and bonus towards buying your first home.
In Cardiff, the property market is varied, this extra support can help first-time buyers secure a place with more confidence.
Whether you’re combining your LISA with a smaller deposit or looking into 95% mortgages in Cardiff, a mortgage advisor in Cardiff can help you understand how it all fits together.
To open a Lifetime ISA, you need to be between 18 and 39 and must be a first-time buyer.
The home you’re buying needs to be in the UK, used as your main residence, and cost no more than £450,000.
That upper limit makes the scheme especially useful in Cardiff, where more properties fall within budget.
If you’re unsure whether your plans fit the criteria, or you want to combine your LISA with a mortgage product, speaking to a mortgage broker in Cardiff means you’ll know exactly where you stand and what you can afford.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.

Very helpful throughout the process and on the phone, helpful during the buying process to understand what mortgage rates I would be likely to get and advice on what properties were less suitable than others for offers.
