there was a mention of remortaging after 4 years if there is enough equity in my house to clear the remaining debt in the IVA but would i get a remortgage after 4 years in the IVA?
At the moment there is no chance of you getting a remortgage and, if the terms state, you are likely to get a 12 month extension to the IVA (assuming there is equity to address).
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

I am 2 months from completion, I have the same clause but after providing two evaluations (one from an estate agent and one from Zoopla - free online website evaluation), a mortgage redemption letter, two refusals of re-mortgage, my IP advised that they will be no extension to my repayment.
I understand an extension only applies if your property has a sizeable equity (mine had about 25%) and you refuse to re-mortgage. Talk to your IP and ask them for the documentation that they need.
The extension usually gets triggered if there is more than £5k equity and if unable ( not refuse -- that would be a fail) to remortgage ( as all are these days).
However, some arrangements have been drafted differently, so all depends upon what your own paperwork says.
