Short term investment

Options
We are selling our home for approx £300K and will be buying another for about £200K. We may have to rent while we are house hunting. Where should we invest safely to get the best rate with instant access in the meantime?

    Easy option is ns&i, though low rates.

    You can put up to £85000 into a range of current accounts paying between 3&5% though this takes a little time and needs setting up direct debits etc, which may not be worth the hassle given the probable short time period.

    There are plenty of similar threads on this board so if you search you shall find.
