Been looking at the Tesco Internet Saver account @ 1.55% for 12 months, but just thought I'd see if anyone knows of any better account out there?

They dont exist currently. I looked into one and the best you could gte was about 3%.

Bonds are your best bet but then money is tied up... Gov't bonds from Italy, Spain and Portugal have a very high yield if you are willing to be a bit risky...

BTL mortgages require min. 20% deposit usually, so siognificantly easier said then done...

I thought it was closer to 50%, but then I looked a few years back before buying my personal property instead

You can find some with 20% still IIRC but most are higher. Think 50% is a bit prohibitive....

High street spec deposit-and-forget will be terrible.

Can you not add it on to the rest of your stuff? Surely that must be doing more than even the best tax free stuff.

I want to have this cash easily accessible, so a more conventional account would be better suited than shares or an ISA.

That's the downside to locking it away I suppose.

Best one I think then was the Santander (?) 3% CURRENT (

) account.

First direct regular saver, 4.8% after tax but max £3600. Otherwise, P2P lending, think Zopa offers around 4% over 3 years but you can withdraw early and pay a small penalty.

We only put down 20% on each of our BTL and the 20% for the second came out of the equity of the first so we've effectively only put 20% of our own money down on one set of flats; tenants have paid the next deposit and the subsequent capital payments. Once you have one, its much more straight forward to get a second/third/etc.

Its a product they've offered for years, although the rate dropped lately.
