[UK] HL LISA - looking to buy in approx 2 years
« on: April 02, 2018, 04:30:49 PM »
Current Situation:
  • Currently renting for £500pm w/ bills included with a colleague from work.
  • Started saving into a Help to Buy back in October 2016, and transferred it into a S&S LISA with Hargreaves and Lansdown a few months ago (have been saving the max I can into it this whole time)
  • (Half) plan is to look to buy within the next 2 years if the market looks alright and more FIRE effective

Question:

Should I look to invest the money I have already into a short term fund or should I just keep it in cash and only gain the 25% bonus?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
