Nice home for your house deposit?

Moneysupermarket.com: ICICI Bank 7% 1 year fixed term deposits

Lets see 5.6% net + 15% drop in house prices = 15.6% yield= Much better yield than buy to let.

Thanks for posting this cc. As Paul mentioned a wee while ago a savings war is hotting up. The negative media campaign against Iceland didn't work so the UK banks will have to start to up their rates if they are serious about winning savers money.

I haven't seen much evidence of a savings war. UK lenders fixed rate accounts and bonds are quite common around 6.25% - 6.5% and these have no strings attached. With this Indian ICICI you have to open another account with them first. With the Icelandic banks like Kaupthing you might get 6.7% or whatever, but IMHO there is still that nigglynaggly doubt about the ease of getting all your money back in a worst case scenario.
