I’m thinking of topping up its current cash-in value with a personal loan so I can pay off the mortgage when my deal ends
Q The current fixed-rate deal on my interest-only mortgage of £47,000 will finish at the end of next March, and the entire mortgage term is due to end in July 2023. My endowment will mature a year before that and is on track to pay out £49,800 at the low rate and £57,300 at the mid rate. It has never performed better than the mid rate since it started, and has frequently performed at the low rate, leaving me with a potential small shortfall at times.
My yearly endowment statement has just arrived and the cash-in value is now £41,000. So rather than just remortgaging next March, I’m thinking of cashing in the endowment early next year and topping up the £41,000 with a personal loan of £6,000 so I can pay off the entire mortgage of £47,000. I only have £2,000 in savings and that’s not likely to grow quickly as I’m focusing all I can on pension payments. Is it a good idea to cash in soon, or am I missing something here?
