Easy access, safe savings account for funds of house sale

BonBons2021

Hello, 
We've sold our property and are going into rented as we can't find anywhere to buy presently.

I'm wondering what to do with the equity in the interim, obviously it cannot stay in our current accs. We have one savings acc currently but it's only covered up to 80k so we need another for the remainder. Preferably one which:
Covers more than the 80k
Is super safe (I work with elderly people and do a lot of notifications around scams and it has made me really paranoid)
Is easily accessible when we need it - I've heard of some accounts where it can take weeks and weeks to draw down a withdrawal - don't want that. 

The above criteria is much more important than any interest we may earn, clearly a nice bonus but in an ideal world this money would barely have touched us and would have gone back to a mortgage provider as part of a house purchase. 

TIA

After selling your main residence, you're covered for up to £1m for up to six months under the FSCS temporary high balances provision, so your money is safe wherever it is (in FSCS-protected accounts!) for now.

If you're looking for protection for more than £85K after that, then NS&I is the only one-stop shop, or you could split the money across multiple easy access savings accounts:

Thank you @eskbanker I had no idea re the first point! Good to know, although I don't want it hanging around in my CA. 
Yes we are its 220 in total so I'd rather just open one other account, I will check out NS&I.

£100k (as £50k each) in Premium Bonds, then you only need 2 other accounts for the rest after the 6 month high protection period. Although I’m not sure I would bother with worrying about FSCS protection if it was going to cost me.
