Hi
You will almost certainly have to release equity to your creditors in the fourth year of your IVA.This will be 85% of your equity upto a maximum cost of 60% of your disposible income.

The general rule is that creditors will expect you to have the property revalued during the final year, with you then raising a remortgage based upon 85% loan to value. You will then need to repay your existing secured borrowings and introduce the balance of any monies left over into the IVA for the benefit of your creditors.
