    Is this the surrender value and if so how old is it? Ditto for forecasts.If not recent please update.

    Could you please also post the current value (on last bonus statement) and the interest rate you pay on your mortgage.

  • this is the most up to date i got from them yesterday

    this is the surrender value
  • i am on a tracker with the nationwide 4.78% from nov

    my current deal runs out aug 2009

    i am on part repayment / interest only

    £39 000 mortgage £18 000 on interest only

    i would like full repayment if the endowment is not worth keeping

    i am not worried about the life cover

    if you cashed in the policy and used the lump sum to reduce the loan, also increasing the payments by the amount of the endowment premium, at maturity you would end up with 23,006, which beats all their forecasts at no risk and thus looks like the way to go.

    It may be cheaper to use the money (and any other "top-up" money) to overpay the I/O part of the mortgage.
