I have a lump sum of cash coming to me that will go towards a deposit on a house in the next couple / few months.
Is there a safe, sensible place to put said money that might earn it a bit of interest but I can still access the money when I need it?
I can top up existing ISAs with some of it but is there anything else that sensible people do with their money?
Not for that short of time, premium bonds are the only safe 'bet' with that short a time horizon. If you had 12+ months then possibly worth looking at Inflation Linked Bond funds so you're not losing out in real terms, although would have to be mindful of fees.
