Cashing in with profits endowment

I'm sure others have asked similar but i'm after any thoughts regarding my endowment.

It is a with profits in year 14 of a 25 year term. The current net surrender value is pretty much what i've put in. I no longer rely on it for repaying my mortgage.

I have need of the cash for projects in the new house and not paying the monthly payment would be good too.

Has anyone any thoughts - any things I need to consider prior to cashing my endowment in?

    You may achieve more than the SV, if it is purchased by a traded endowment co.

    There are various elements that will influence any offer made - so best to have a quotation from various sources before deciding whether to surrender or sell.

    Hope this helps

    The cost of replacing the life cover springs to mind.

    Unfortunately a TB on maturity is discrectionary and not gte'd :(.

    With life cover only applicable whilst premiums are maintained (or until made paid up)

  • Thanks, guys. I have no dependents so am not interested in life cover.
