  • 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.
