Ltcg benefit to huf if new residential property purchased in individual names of huf members

My huf, currently having only two members, me and my wife, sold a residential property  in 2018acquired in 2002. To save LTCG, can we buy a new residential property in our two names jointly or it has to be in huf name only. Reason is we want to avail housing loan and get interest  paid income tax exemption. Housing finance is not available to huf I have been told, but have not verified from ALl Hf banks. Please help thnx
