Hi dld
It very much depends on how much equity you have, but it is quite usual for creditors to require an equity release during the final year of the arrangement.
My profession are currently lobbying the British Bankers Association, to take account of equity levels at the beginning of an IVA and not the end - ie if you have £2,000 equity at the start which increases to £20,000 in five years time, then it is the lower figure which has to be raised in the final year, but this is subject to ongoing discussions at present.
