Best place to put £80k for 6 months?

I need to put £80k somewhere safe for about 6 months.  It's probate money so won't be there much longer, and can't be put in an ISA.  Where would be secure and offer a good rate for that term?

    Assuming it can go into any kind of account, Trading 212 are still paying 5.17% (paid daily) on an instant access GBP cash deposit in their INVEST product, which doesn't appear in comparison tables as far as I can see.

    Do your research regarding FSCS and how they also hold funds in QMMFs.

    Probate money as in money you're holding as the executor of an estate or money that you've received as a beneficiary?
