I'd firstly use my ISA allowance. That is £3000 in a cash ISA plus £4000 in an equity ISA. Since the current tax year ends on April 5th, you can invest a further £7000 with tax advantages after this date. So I'd hold this £7000 in a building society account until April 6th, when I'd transfer £3000 to a cash ISA and £4000 to an equity ISA. The remaining £16000 I would place in my stock market account (I have one anyway) and after suitable research invest in various shares.

The best strategy will depend on how long you intend to invest this money for. My strategy would not expect any significant growth for a few years but £6000 would be instantly available at any time.

For a cash ISA I use Nationwide: although they don't offer the best interest rate money can be withdrawn at any time without penalty. And there are no gimmicks like offering a high interest rate but only for a short period of time. For the equity ISA I would suggest a managed fund such as a tracker fund. I use a European tracker fund so that my investments are balanced between the UK, Europe and the United States where I also have a brokerage account.

I would definitely not invest in property. £30000 hardly buys anything and it is a high risk. A golden rule about investing is not to put all your eggs in one basket.

That would definitely have to be a balanced portfolio. Use you cash ISA allowance (£3000) and I would suggest an equity ISA tracking the FTSE All Share. With the rest Nationwide do a guaranteed return bond. You get a proportion of the increase in the stock market but your capital is secure (just in case)

I would also suggest having a look on www.fool.co.uk

Hope this helps.

Ultra safe option#1 would be Premium bonds - the absolute maximum your allowed to hold is £30,000 worth.
http://nsandi.com/products/pb/index.jsp

Option#2 if you don't need instant access to it in an emergency I'd suggest the Halifax Fixed Rate websaver - interest rate is currently 5.70%AER, over fixed term of 5-yrs......... according to the savings calculator @ fool.co.uk, that £30,000 would become worth £39,581.86 after that period of time
http://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/savingsatglance.asp

In comparison, over the same period of time a "National Savings & Investments" Fixed Rate savings bond would only grow to be worth £36,149.98 http://nsandi.com/products/frsb/index.jsp

A slightly riskier approach, which I believe MAY pay off over the long run would be to use it to buy shares in a stable company that pays large amounts of dividend (which you can then use to buy more shares so you're entitled to more dividend payments the following year. http://www.halifax.co.uk/sharedealing/sharebuilder.asp
One such company (no, I don't work for them) being Halifax (HBOS) themselves.

hi intrest bond has no risk but good return

Premium Bonds are safe.

You should regularly win with that amount. No guarantee, though.

Property to rent out you will get rent paid to you that will cover the mortgage and your 30,000 will increase in the property value.

Speak to a financial advisor at your bank.

either that or you could gamble on the stock market (but this isn't the safe option)

It depends for how long but if it is long term it has to be property

Get a buy to let mortgage and you will always have your money there with potential investment value
