    Yeah its 3%, my bad. You should park your money there unless your mortgage is > 3%.

    Most of us should have £20k in there and you should keep it here until your mortgage interest goes over the 5%. This is a nobrainer because its liquid, thus if things change you do something else.

    The only reason I'm asking the question on here is because I _have_ worked out the financial implications of leaving the money where it is. The discussion is more around what to do with this money. I own a house with a mortgage (that doesn't allow an offset) and have investments in stocks and shares, so your comment around what is and isn't in my league may be a little misplaced. I would take it more personally if you were any less of an arrogant, facetious prat most of the time on here though.

    Possibly. It depends on your situation. Have you asked google?
