HMRC unclaimed Child Trust Funds letter

Getting a letter to say you have money you weren’t aware of is a very rare thing to happen! While a spending spree might be tempting, this could be a good opportunity to take your first step towards buying your own place.

If you’d like to become a homeowner one day, moving it into a Lifetime ISA will mean the government adds another 25% on top of what they’ve already given you. So, £2,000 becomes £2,500.

You can move up to £4,000 into a Lifetime ISA straight away, which means there’s up to £1,000 in government bonus available.

That limit resets every 6 April so you can keep claiming that 25% government bonus (in fact, we claim it on your behalf every month you pay in!).

What is a lifetime ISA?

A lifetime ISA is a type of ISA designed exclusively to help young people (18-39) buy their first place or put extra money away for retirement.

It comes with a 25% government bonus – the government tops up everything you pay in by 25%.

You can pay in up to £4,000 each tax year so there’s up to £1,000 bonus available every year!

At OneFamily, we offer a stocks and shares lifetime ISA because we believe this gives your money the best potential to grow*.

Getting started is simple. Choose the climate-focused fund that works for you. Then set up a Direct Debit of at least £25 a month or pay in a lump sum of £100 or more.

If you withdraw from your Lifetime ISA for anything other than buying a first home (worth no more than £450,000), you’ll be charged a 25% government penalty which may leave you with less than you’ve paid in. This charge doesn’t apply after you turn 60.
