    I don't quite understand this - are you looking for a pension scheme?

    Yes but they would be quite high risk (no investment risk but has a greater inflation risk and shortfall risk for the long term. Unless you are looking at a couple years, the idea would not be the right thing to do.

    What you describe is a pension, savings account, ISA or a number of other things. However, what you propose to do is almost certainly wrong as using deposit accounts/cash for long term planning carries too much risk of shortfall.

  • Some people, like me, may wish to deplete their pension fund as they have a better use for the cash... wine, women, song ... or maybe a place in the South of France... and wish to do this as quickly as possible at minimum, hopefully only 20%, tax cost and do not want to agonise over which SIPP provider or which investments to choose as they do this. In my research I have discovered that there are deposit accounts offering the heady sum of 1% ( see Leeds Building Society) but only a 'recognised' SIPP provider can put your money into it. Question: which is the cheapest SIPP provider to do this ( doesn't have to be Leeds BS)
    and what are their charges?.

    Some people like you are gonna run out of money and live on state pension.

    And I haven't looked at cash rates on pensions, as it is fairly stupid to keep cash in a pension (apart from a cash fund to buy investments).

    Think about half current savings accounts.

    And once you have bought the place in France, how are you going to pay for living in it?
