Short Term Savings

Good Afternoon

In the next few weeks I will be receiving a lump sum following the sale of my house (approx £15k - £20k). As I will not be purchasing another for approx 6 months I was looking for a risk free, potentially quick access high interest saving solution. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Many Thanks
Colin.

    take your pic from the selection on the main site i;m afraid.

    not great news on the rates, it's not a big sum of money so no real other options - especially as you have indicated risk free which limits you to savings accounts. Expect 2-3%

    alternatively - open a new 1-2-3 current account and keep it all in there you'd get 3% on it this way.

    best of luck
