selling a standard life endowment

i am rapidly coming to the conclusion that i should sell this policy despite it only having 14 months left-see my other thread on this subject--i want to know now which or who will offer me best value -do i go through a ifa -cash it in to sl or go on the open market --who has experience of any of these courses?-
mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.

    I dont know how you can come to that conclusion as there are no facts presented and we stil dont know what the mortgage promise value is.

    If you sell the policy (or surrender) you will not get that mortgage promise value.

    on the other thread i have found out that there is no mep and the value is low 17973 and high 18615---and 14 months of payments at 40,60 to complete the policy--i am interested in knowing what the current sl endowments are getting as a final bonus --my optimism is waining--i have been advised to surrender it back to SL by an ifa if i go that route
