Checking around for the best interest rates on savings accounts could net you a significantly better return on your investment. With the base rate stuck at 0.5% for the past 31 months (in the UK), savers have been struggling to find a decent deal.

Choosing the best account to suit your circumstances - lump sum investments or regular input to get the best rates. You may also be able to use your savings to offset your mortgage, which could save thousands in interest on the loan.
