Wondering if anyone can help. My mother in law and I are just in the process of buying a property to rent out.
I need to open the account in our names but neither of us work. Once open the account would have about £550 going in a month. Any advice?

Thanks

    If you give us a clue what you are looking for someone might be able to make a suggestion!
    eg: online access/operation, direct debits, ATM card, cheque book, decent interest rate, etc...

    I would try the basic accounts at the following banks:
    Barclays
    LLoyds TSB
    CO-OP

    To be honst, any type of account will be good enough.

    I would recommend opening an account at one of your current banks.
