Savings bank

L123

I’m about to receive a large proportion of money from a house sale. I will fill my ISA allowance but where should I place the reading money? I will need access to it to buy another house at a point in the future.

In the absence of information about how much money and how long for, check out leading easy access options at:

Easy access savings and/or notice savings; fixed term savings but only if you know you won't need it for that length of time: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/
Although there's temporary protection for larger sums, it might still be worth considering the £85k FSCS protection limit

Only relating to main residences, OP wasn't clear on that either, simply referring to "a house sale" and buying another.

Not withstanding the lack of clarity around this being an investment property, if it is indeed their main residence, the protection mentioned is only available for 6 months.

After ISA allowance spread your cash across best paying currently available easy access accounts. Don't exceed £85,000 per institution (go a bit lower than £85k to allow for interest to be protected too).

When you receive your money go to https://www.moneysupermarket.com/savings/goals/?goal=SAV_EASYACCESS , scroll down to the bottom, click on "show me these accounts" and you will get the list to choose from.
