remortgage or use savings?

I have sold my house and am buying another for a little less than I am getting for my house.
However the difference will be wiped out by costs and stamp duty.
I still have about £20,000 to pay on my mortgage so I will have to either remortgage for £20,000 or use my savings of £19,000 plus £1,000 borrowed from a relative.
I have an endowment maturing in Jan 2012 with a maturity value of £25,000 so I will be penniless and savings less until then, unless I remortgage.
The endowment is costing me £80 per month.
What would you do, be penniless and mortgage free for 14 months or remortgage?
