Finally I am at the point where I can begin saving for mortgage. I have about £5k spread in a couple of places already including a help to buy ISA and I'm able to put away circa 5-700 per month. house prices being what they are that likely going to mean 2/3 years of saving regularly and whacking away anything extra that I can to achieve it.
any thoughts on what I should do with this expanding balance in that time? I have a couple of regular savings accounts, 1 TSB, 1 Halifax and in the process of opening one with first direct too. but I can only put a certain amount into those together per month and the returns (first Direct aside) at 2%, 3% and 5% respectively aren't the most eye popping.
not averse to a bit of risk for good reward. I have been contacted by this Nigerian prince who needs help....
Thoughts?
