Royal London 25 year endowment matured today!

Delighted with our endowment policy that we took out on our first home 25 years ago.  We sold the house 17 years ago and moved to a repayment mortgage (which we managed to pay off 3 years ago) but kept the endowment running as a savings / life insurance policy.

It was guaranteed to pay out £42,500 and the statement in April said it's surrender value was just over £45k.  Amount paid into the bank this morning £56,315 :smile:
No paperwork from them yet but I'm happy. 
Mortgage Aug 22 £280,000
Current mortgage  £28,000
