Cashing In Endowment Policy

[timsk]

My wife and I have calculated that the growth of our endowment policies is such that we're better off cashing them in and paying off a chunk of our mortgage and reducing the interest payments. The question is: do we cash it in or sell it on? A Google search reveals loads of companies all promising to pay us much more than the the policy provider will - which does of course, appeal greatly. However, we've no experience of these types of companies, so I thought I'd throw it open to the mighty collective experience of T2W members, in the hope that some of you out there may be able to provide a few pointers.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.

I know nothing about endowments, save for the stories I've heard
Here's a search from the BBC programe Working Lunch, maybe something amongst them may be of use.

I think you'll find that there are plenty of people in this line of business, but here's one that's been around for a long time and is well established: http://www.foster-and-cranfield.co.uk/intro.htm
