Executors of an estate in England and Wales can now apply for probate online using a new online probate service launched by HM Courts and Tribunals.

How does a Help to Buy Isa work?

Written by Mark Jones on November 30, 2015. Posted in Budget, Buying a house, Managing Your Money, Property

From 1 December first-time buyers will be able to save in a Help to Buy Individual Savings Account (HTB Isa) and the government will add money to it.

Help to buy ISA

As with your traditional cash ISA, the interest you earn will be free of both income and capital gains tax.

In addition, when savers take money out to buy a house or flat, the government will add 25% to whatever is in the account, up to a maximum of £3,000.
