GMP in NPI section 32 - Exit or not?

I have an NPI section 32 pension with a GMP of £7223 (which seems to have been calculated from GMP value at transfer plus 7% compound) and no GAR visible in the schedule etc.

I was planning to buy my annuity on the open market at normal retirement age in 2 years' time, but having read many of the excellent posts here, think I may be stuck with buying the GMP from NPI unless beforehand I move the pension to a company with better annuity rates. Is this the case?

My last annual statement gave a transfer value of £193k which is only a £5k penalty, so I assume that the GMP portion does not have to be left with NPI. Even if it did, I might be better off moving the rest, I suppose.

Regards Dooda
