Where to put your money from a house sale

Hi to all.....I'm about to sell my house, it's under a million so I know I can save it as a whole for 6 months protected. Where would be the best place to put the money with easy access and possibly some interest. We intend to buy a house in the very near future (just lost the one we were going for!)

We sold, rented for a year, then bought recently.
We put it all with NS&I because protection is unlimited so it doesn’t matter if you go over the six months.We had 2x £50k max in premium bonds and the rest in a joint names Income Bond. All instant access and paying around 1%. Premium Bond prizes and Income Bond interest paid into our current account, paying half our rent. 😃0
