It's part of the process of the iva.

Not likely anyone will accept him and if equity may need to extend for another 12 months.

If you are on the mortgage you need to understand your position.
IVA started March 2011, Completed March 2016 and certificate issued 11 days after final payment. It was not always easy but then some of the best decisions aren't.

This is as was agreed in his original agreement and is a standard requirement -- have a look at the paperwork, where it will all be laid out.

He will be refused a remortgage as things stand and will probably have to pay an extra 12 months instead.

All will depend upon the equity available -- again this is in his paperwork.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014

No - its the usual terms - check his proposals and modification paperwork.

On the assumption he wont be able to remortgage the standard alternative is a 12 month extension of payments.
