Where to save with instant access?

Having recently sold my house:j and now looking to buy another, I have £90k sat in a bank. Can anyone tell me where today is the best accounts I can open which pays me some instant interest straight away?
I will be hopefully buying another property soon so I need to be able to access this money maybe within a month notice

    Try www.moneysupermarket.com/savings.

    I liked Egg (2.5%) although ING (who I dislike) are paying 2.75%.

    For a consistently good interest rate, try Investec’s High 5 account.
    The rate changes every week but always = the average of the top 5 accounts listed by Moneyfacts, so it's always nearly the best-paying account. This week's rate is 3.12%.
    You need to give 3 months notice, you need a minimum balance of £25K, and it is post/phone operated. But it IS covered by the FSA’s £50K compensation scheme.
    They'll also give both you, and an existing account holder (referree), £50 when you apply. PM me for any questions / details.
