2 x 200k to invest for 12-15 months

[Rouleur]

My OH and I will at some point soon have £200k each (or £400k combined) going spare for a period of 12-15 months before we will want to put it into property. We are both mortgage free and won't need to touch the money for at least a year.

What would be the best way to make the money earn for us in the mean time? I don't mind a little bit of risk but I know nothing really about investments so something simple and easy to manage would be ideal for now.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. My OH is going to speak to an IFA but as you all say it looks as though a standard account will be the way to go, which isn't very exciting in terms of the return available..!
