How to invest my money?

Hello, newbie here. We are selling our house and soon moving out. We'll go into rented for a while as we can't find anything suitable to buy right now. We have quite a bit of equity in the house and will end up with £570K cash.
How to invest it to get the best return while spreading the risk but also keep it available at short notice (hopefully we'll find something to buy within 6 or 12 months)? I should see a financial adviser, I know, but in the meantime thought I'd ask here anyway. Thank you for your input. :beer:

Spread it across multiple, unlinked banks (to ensure you don't exceed the £85K protection limit), in the best instant access account that you can find. Your timescale is too short for investing.
You could always take a chunk down to the casino or bookies.....0 -
If you want to keep it in one
place, use NS &I?
"A range of 100% secure investments
We offer a range of savings and investments to suit different people at different stages of their life. All the money you save or invest with NS&I will be 100% secure, as we are backed by HM Treasury – there is no overall limit on how much is guaranteed."

Sorry for the late reply, have a sick baby in the house. That is very useful, thank you.0
