Hi, can anyone give me some advice on the following please. I have an endowment policy - no longer used against mortgage which was changed to repayment and will be paid within 3 months. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile keeping the policy or should i sell/cash surrender it? Details are:
Policy Start: July 1988 Maturity Date: July 2013 Monthly Payment: £37.17
Current Value £14162
Last Declared Bonus £54.88
Total Bonuses Applied: £6436
Projected Illustrations at 2013:
3.75% pa = £18600 5.5% pa = £20200 £7.25%pa £22000
When policy was originally taken out it was supposed to pay a £28500 mortgage PLUS give us a lump sum of approximately £8000!
I'd be grateful for any advice.

Still might. SL maturities still have some paying surplus and most of these had shortfall projections just like yours.
What is the guaranteed sum assured?
What is the mortgage promise value range?
what is the final bonus accrued to date?
Will you need replacement life cover, if so, how much will that cost per month?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

I'll be interested in their answer as to whether you need replacement life cover...Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

How much life cover does it provide? £28,500? If so, take the £14K and you only need £14.5K life cover to match that lost by surrendering.

To do a calculation, also need to know the surrender value.Trying to keep it simple...
