FIL Mid 80's

Options
My FIL is selling his current house and downsizing.  He is a higher rate pensioner so living off his pension is not an issue on a day to day basis.
However he will have approx £200-£250k to invest once the house sale goes through.  He doesnt want anything complex and I was thinking of premimum bonds at £50k as one option.    He doesnt want to take risks with his money and he doesnt want it dotted all over the place.  Any suggestions please.

    NS&I Income Bonds seems like the best option in this case. 1.16% interest rate and since it’s NS&I the full £200k will be safe, not just the first £85k of it.
