Seeking UK bank account

[La Oliva Tom]

Hi,

We are permanently settled in Fuerteventura and have just sold our former home in the UK. We need to open another bank account in the UK to deposit part of the purchase price. Our current bank will have the maximum under the FSC bank compensation scheme, so don't want to put it in there. Any British residents who can recommend a UK bank that will open a easy access savings account for us ex-pats?

Thanks in anticipation.

Tom.

But thanks.

Tom.
