Savings Help Needed!

[squidgster]

Anyone out there good with savings accounts? Basically, I am looking on behalf of a relative for a savings account for them to open in the next few days. They will be investing between �300,000 and �400,000. The money will only be in there for a matter of a couple/few months (somewhere between 2-4), and so they will need easy/instant access. All these AER's and variable rates confuse me! A few I have come across will only offer a rate of 2.5% ish if it's tied up for over 12 months, which wouldn't be any good.

Anyone either know what the best deal around is that would be suitable, or know where is good to get advice from?

Thank you muchly!
