Calls to reform Lifetime ISAs over ‘nonsensical' rules causing savers to lose their own money
MPs have warned that those who invest in a Lifetime ISA (LISA) may get back less money than they put into the scheme. LISAs are a product for first-time homebuyers or savers for pensions where they can put up to £4,000 in per year and the government will top up that figure by an additional 25 per cent. They can be opened by any adult under 40 in the UK and contributions count towards each person's overall £20,000 annual ISA allowance. However, their dual-nature has long been a target of criticism, as well as the complex criteria for using the funds, which has led to many people losing more than they initially save. The £450,000 restriction on how much a house can be worth has not changed with rising property prices, while two different variations of the LISA exist to further skew matters – one in cash, and one where money within it can be invested. A Treasury report said in 2023-24 that a total of 99,650 people made unauthorised withdrawals from Cash LISAs – in other words, taking their money out other than to buy a new home or to take a pension – compared with 56,900 who actually used it to purchase a house. When removing money from the account for any reason other than the stated allowed uses or in case of terminal illness, a 25 per cent fine is levied on the cash. However, this means an effective penalty of 6.25 per cent on people on their own money, not just the return of the government's cash. The government report called this penalty 'nonsensical'. "Cash LISAs may suit those saving for a first home but may not achieve the best outcome for those using it as a retirement savings product, as they are unable to invest in higher risk but potentially higher return products such as bonds and equities," a Treasury report said. Rachael Griffin, tax and financial planning expert at Quilter, commented after the investment company's evidence was used to show the Lisas were 'fundamentally flawed and not always delivering good outcomes for savers'. 'We're pleased that committee acknowledged Quilter's evidence on its dual purpose being confusing for savers,' Ms Griffin said. 'Savers are often unsure how to use the product, and that uncertainty can lead to poor decisions. 'The withdrawal penalty is also one of the products most pressing problems. It removes the government bonus but also reduces the saver's own contributions. For those facing unexpected costs or whose house purchase exceeds the price cap, the penalty feels disproportionate and unfair. A simpler system that only recovers the bonus would be far more reasonable.'

Home Bargains' £3.99 kitchen essential helps banish insects from your home in hot weather and it's ‘a breeze to install'
HOME Bargains is working hard this year to ensure your home is bug-free this summer, with a cheap new homeware essential. After experts announced the forthcoming Flying Ant Day could be one of the biggest in recent years, here's everything you need to know about Home Bargains latest must-have. 3 Although the British weather is never that predictable, the recent weeks of high heat have left many feeling a bit flustered. To stay cool, it is often recommended to ensure there is a enough airflow throughout the home. However, with the impending Flying Ant Day, opening all the windows and doors to get some air in also means pesky insects have been given an invitation to infiltrate your home. But Home Bargains has fixed the conundrum with their latest must-have. Their affordable Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen is a kitchen essential that will prevent bugs from infesting your home. 3 Cheap trick to keep your home pest free The budget-friendly retailer has solved one of summer's biggest stumbling blocks - bugs. For only £3.99 its new insect door screen allows homeowners to be able to open doors and let the air in while keeping the pesky bugs out. The magnetic closing technology creates a sleek and easy user experience and is secure enough to stop even the most persistent pests. It is a breeze to install, as it requires no tools, meaning it can be put up without a second thought, and at that price, it's almost a no-brainer. What's more, while the weather is making us feel like we're on the continent, why not transport your home there too with it's sleek Spanish inspired design. The lace detail, coupled with the black colouring, reflects a sense of the Iberian style and makes it both fashionable and functional. Biggest flying ant day in recent memory Homeowners are pulling out all the stops to keep insects out this summer, as experts suggest this could be the biggest Flying Ant Day in recent memory. Flying Ant Day is the annual mating flight of millions of ants, when they fly through the skies in synchronised displays. While this may sound like a sight to behold, it's never nice to have the little insects crawling around your home. There are various ways to help keep the pests at bay, but when coupled with Home Bargains' new affordable solution, it's hard to think how the bugs will be able to get in. What's more unlike some chemical options, this screen does not cause the ants harm, and so it is the perfect solution. Paul Blackhurst, Head of the Technical Academy at Rentokil Pest Control, explained: 'While flying ants may disrupt your picnic, barbeque, or pub garden pint, they play a vital role in the ecosystem. "This natural event, when vast numbers of winged ants, known as alates, take to the skies at once in search of mates from other colonies, could be one of the most prolific for years."
