If you're planning on buying this year then you don't want anything risky. Things like a stocks and shares ISA may be OK in the long term but there's every chance that their value may have dropped at a set date in the near future (as an example one of my "high risk" pots in a stocks and shares ISA has lost 10% in the past week).
As others have said, go with savings accounts. Try not to open shed loads of new accounts to take advantage of all the deals as there is a possibility this may hit your credit rating a little.

This is all really really useful. thanks so much for everyone taking the time to respond.
As first time buyers we hope to buy this year so 1 year lock-ins aren't an option. I read MSE often but wanted some first hand advice about what has worked well for other people.
