Where to park funds pending house search

[Deleted User] · 2021-12-31 13:43:16

Where would you park funds upwards of 50K while you are searching for an apartment/house. Thus, key criteria are low risk and high liquidity. Thanks in advance.

An instant access account for a lump sum. According to this list the best return available is 0.05% subject to DIRT.

I would go for Prize Bonds. You might win €50 straight away, or you might never win, that is the risk. If left for a year a €50 win on €50K would be 0.1% DIRT free.
