Hi,
Great site, Im hoping somebody can give me some advice. I have about 50k to putaway for about 12months. It was the deposit for a house which I didnt go thru with ... (for all the right reasons i hope, recession, rising interest rates, energy costs etc) So now my plan is to rent and use the interest on the 50k to subsidise it.
I have been looking around for savings package that offers a montly return on interest, (or an attractive rate for a 3 month term.)
So far I have only come up with Irish Nationwide. For 50k+ they are offering 5.27% monthly payouts less the dirt. ~approx 176euro after dirt which I will put against my rent.
(Alternatively there is a 4month fixed term option with same bank at 5.2% but only pays out interest at end of 4months, but i prefer the frequent monthly payouts)
Are there any other options I should consider? Can the DIRT be offset against any renting tax allowances? Is the Irishnationwide option a good deal?
Thanks
Adrian
