new mortgage whilst under IVA

[alison1967]

will I be able to take out a new mortgage whilst under IVA. I have paid into it for a year

Hi
If you do not have a mortgage at present then yes,you will need your IPs permission and a deposit from a third party,it must also not affect your ability to repay your IVA.
If you already have a mortgage then you can remortgage but,presuming that you have the fourth year equity release,you will not be able to use any of your equity.Any savings that you make on your mortgage payments may have to be paid into your IVA.

You would indeed be able to take a mortgage whilst in an IVA as long as you have permission from your IP and providing your IVA was "conducted satisfactorily".

Hi a.r and welcome to the forum

Both Andy and welshboy are right you can obtain a mortgage and remortgage whilst in an IVA, there are a few pitfalls and things to consider. Have a glance at my article http://www.iva.co.uk/articles/index.asp?id=681 for more information.

Hi a.r

You can take out a new mortgage or remortgage but you will need the express permission of your IP and it is unlikely that this will be agreed if the mortgage puts you in a worse financial position than renting. Obtaining a new mortgage whilst you are in an IVA, should only be undertaken if you have third party funds to pay for the deposit.

I have a question with regards to this subjecy, when I started my IVA I was renting, well still am renting so I dont have the 4th equity release in my IVA.

But if I was able to get a mortgage and it was all agreed etc, Then could they add the 4th year equity release in to the IVA or not?

no matter how bad money gets, theirs stll alot more important things in life

The length of an IVA is usually five years, if during that time you buy a property, even if it's part way through, there is a strong chance that the property will increase in value. Creditors would want any added value, i.e. equity, to be considered at the end of the IVA, but only if the total debt was not repaid in full and there was still a shortfall owed.
