Selling a Sun Life Endowment Plan?

Posts: 373 Forumite
I have 3 years left on a 15 year plan.
I'm currently paying in £25 a month (started at £20).
But could do with the money now.
My last statement (8/2/09) read:
Surrender Value of Basic Plan: £2,581.39
Surrender Value of Reversionary Bonuses: £430.20
Total Surrender Value: £3011.59
Are there companies out there that will buy the plan from me for more than the surrender value?

I doubt anyone will be interested as
a) its not a mortgage endowment and the sum assured will be too low
b) not enough time left
c) its rubbish
You can try but I know I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole.
Whats the current value? (if old style endowment that would be basic sum assured plus bonuses)
You are also going to need a newer value. A lot has happened in the last year.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Thanks for the reply (although disappointing!).
I've just got a new surrender value as of today of £3253.
Death Claim Value is:
Basic Sum Insured: £3734
Total Revisionary Bonues: £510.61
Total Claim: £4244.610 -
Hi Dopple
I have an endowment plan similiar to your circumstances and a member sent me this
website that buys and auctions endowments.
www.apmm.org
They have offered a few hundred pounds more than
the surrender value,so it might interest you.
Also like you my term remaining and monthly payments
were similiar so I have to pay approx £1000 over the next 3 years so I have that saving as well.So many questions!!!0 -
Thanks for that.0
