Well now only got seven payments to go with mg IVA with Stepchange.
I was contacted a couple of weeks ago to ask me to get hold of my mortgage balances which I sent to them.
Was contacted last week by them to arrange a valuer to call and this was arranged for the next day.
Just received a letter from Stepchange informing me there will be no request to remortgage so my IVA will be ending after those seven payments, August being my last one.

My own house value and mortgage is about the same values as there has been very little movement in values and the values are low anyway.
If values are higher,say value was £200,000 and mortgage at £175,000 this would give you a £25,000 equity but the 85% valuation would reduce the forced sale valuation to £170,000 meaning you no longer have any equity for the purposes of the IVA.
Hope this explains it for you.

Thanks St1100
As I thought just hard to believe you can ha e equity but for the iva you dont. I thought they wanted blood from a stone.
thanks again good luck with your completion
Most mortgage lenders won't look at remortgaging with a LTV greater than 85%, hence the figure used.

According to my understanding if your full valuation is £250,000 then 85% of this is £212,500.
As your outstanding mortgage is already higher than this then you should not be expected to have to remortgage or obtain a secured loan.
...or at least that is what my IVA tea when I signed up for it.
Good luck with finishing yours.
