That's about 10k less than we started at, and the IVA option is certainly working for us if that helps at all. As above, seek a range of advice direct from IP's and assess the best options for your circumstances.
If the job is a secure one, and you have a short probabtion period, there is no harm in looking into an IVA to see whether it could work for you.
