I used Julian Hodge a couple of years ago, I think the main office is in Cardiff, they have seemed to have good rates, but haven't used them recently as its all done by post, that was ok a couple of years ago, but nowadays I want as much as possible internet accessible. Saying that I've always found their customer service to be good.

I have also used them over the years and have only just transferred a fixed rate Cash ISA from them to another provider's product, paying 6.5%, because the JHB rate dropped to 6.2%.

I have always found their CS to be excellent.

Thanks, Schoolmaster, but apart from the "Fixed" rates, how do we know whether they'll reduce rates? or have you factored this in?

Hopefully the Coventry BS Poppy Bond 6.25% will stay, just applied, Ill see what it says when set up before I transfer money. Not the top of the pile rate, but at least I already have a current account with them plus they put money to the Poppy appeal.

If you're an oldie, Saga have a 1 year fixed at 6.35% (6.17% monthly) and an instant aceess account currently on 6.04% variable (averages the top 5 internet instant access accounts, so likely to be going down real soon now...).

Birmingham Midshires ISA 6.15% fixed - one year

HSBC Regular Saver 8% fixed - up to £250 per month
