Overpayment on Endowment or Repayment

Posts: 123 Forumite
We have a mortgage of £96,000,
£75,000 is on an endowment basis and
£21,000 is on a repayment basis.
Interest rate is 5.49% on both.
We have £7,000 to make an overpayment.
Can anyone advise whether it would be more efficient to pay off capital from the endowment or the repayment. Or does it not matter?

Do you know how your Endowment Policy is performing?
Is it on track to give you £75,000? If it is then put it to the repayment.
But as you are not reducing your Endowment part you are always paying intrest on the total amount so logically it would make sense to make the overpayment on that.

Should you surrender your endowment and use the money to convert all to repayment and cut the amount owed?
Post some figs and we can check:
Guaranteed sum assured
