Looking for three 6-month bonds

mr_bojangles

I have just (thankfully) received my savings from Icesave and am looking for somewhere to quickly stash the cash for 6 months while the housing market settles.

The total sum is a decent £150,000 so I need three bonds to spread the risk (not making the same mistake twice!). I already have a current account with the Halifax so am thinking of one of their Saver Reward accounts, but need two more.

All suggestions welcome...

Not that I trust Island banks but you wanted options.

Try Standard Life (online) , Bradford and Bingley (branch/post only), Halifax (online) and maybe Yorkshire Building Society (although some people on here are unhappy with YBS).

Be aware of the passport compensation scheme with Bank of Cyprus - http://www.bankofcyprus.co.uk/newsshow.asp?id=797

Try them by all means, but whenever I look at them in these turbulent times nearly all the fixed rates have been reduced or don't exist anymore.
