I have just gone on an iva. However I have put my house on sale as I need to down size. In the agreement, it states the house is excluded. How will this affect me?

It is very unusual for a house to be excluded from an arrangement -- why was this ?
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Any profit would surely go into the pot I'd have thought.

I would agree. Any profit from the sale could be seen as a windfall. You may be able to keep some back for moving expenses etc. As Foggy says it's very unusual for a property to be excluded and I would check everything with your IP before you make any decisions on selling.

If the property was properly excluded then any sale proceeds may indeed be yours to do with as you see fit. However it is very unusual as Foggy says so check with your own IP before you do anything.
