From www.gov.uk:
Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, NatWest, Santander, and Virgin Money will be offering Help to Buy: ISAs from 1 December.
You will be able to put away up to £200 a month in the Help to Buy: ISA that the government will then top up by 25%, up to a maximum of £3,000…
You can only claim your bonus when you are buying a home – and the money has to go towards the deposit, so you can’t use it to pay your solicitor’s, estate agent’s fees or any other costs associated with buying a home.
