Savings Advice - 60k nest egg???

Hi all

I have about 40k in various savings accounts (3%), one being an ISA (2.25%), and a 20k loan has just been repaid to me, so I'm now wondering what to do with my 60k nest egg?

I'm 30, single, rent a room in a house share as not sure where I want to live so reluctant to buy property thinking this would tie me down, but also don't want to put my money into bonds or fixed term accounts in case I do decide say in 6 months where I want to live and decide to buy then.

Any advice would be appreciated on best buys out there etc.

Thanks
