Hi,
My £54,585 endowment mortgage taken out in 1995 with Abbey National over 25 years has a predicted shortfall of £16,000 assuming a growth of 6% (I pay £80/month for the endowmwnt bit).
I have just complained to them about mis-selling but am not really confident of a result.
So, considering that I cannot afford to convert my £54,585 interest only loan into a full re-payment *and* keep on my endowment would you recommend any of the following:
- increases my endowment payment from £80/month to £126/month (increase of £46/month) to make up the £16,000 shortfall?
- cash in my endowment and use the saved £80/month towards converting my interest only loan into a re-payment loan? (and also possibly using the value of the endowment to pay-off some of the mortgage therefore reducing the monthy re-payments.
Thanks for any advise.
