I opened an account with provident direct which is paying 3.75%. I don't think the interest you earn is going to be a big factor in your saving for the house. 3% or 3.75% isn't going to be much of a difference.
What is good, is the plan itself. Don't forget to save at least 10% of your income for retirement, also. Unless you are paying off debt, sticking to the 10% rule, garranties your future. Saving for something else first, can jeapardize your future, as a habit.
