Advice on cashing in investment policy

Hello, I am single, 74, and have been out of the country for 12 years.
Because of concerns about the world economy and memories of 2008 I have decided to cash in investment policy taken out 30 years ago and add it to my pot for when and if I buy property. Any advice on tax efficiency would be greatly appreciated.

    As we have no idea of what country you live in or the tax laws of that country no one can give you any advice. You rally should take professional advice.

    You might find this is a better place to ask questions about tax treatment if you are an expat: https://www.expatforum.com/

    They helped me with a US tax question.
