I ve opted for http://icicibank.co.uk/hisave.html. The indian parent is worth 88 billion. Whereas the Iceland alternative reported 60 million loss last quarter even though they do not have sub-prime ( whatever that means ) mortgage lending.

You've used up your ISA allowances of course?

7% on the 1 year term isn't bad. Somehwere to put your taxes before they're due for payment...

What is CHAP transfer ?

It's a same day transfer and all banks charge circa £20 for that. At the end of the month though same day transfers from/to all banks will be free IIRC

This bank was recently undergoing funding problems in Northern Wreck style. Stay well clear.

If you don't need access to your money for a year, try the Nationwide bond fixed for 1 year at 6.6%. Nationwide have one of the best loan/savings ratios out there, and are hence one of the safest.

Guaranteed by the FSA up to 35k

This is a Bank of India subsidiary folks. Read the small print.

Why on earth do you need to keep nearly three quarters of a million pounds in cash?

To swoop on the BTL market once the crash hits the bottom.
