I own rental property and am involved in a 6 year IVA, my IVA is due to end in 2 years.

Can the length of the agreement be extended past the 6 year point for any reason?

Would they consider ending the IVA early for any reason?

Can a IVA last longer than 6 years?

Hi,

As far as I am aware it should finish at the 6 year anniversary and will only finish early if you can offer a full and final settlement.

An IVA can last longer than six years - depends on the circumstances.

An IVA can be arranged for any period of time, by agreement. It can be shortened, once set up, by full payment of original debt, plus fees and possible statutory interest, of by creditors agreeing a full and final offer.

Your 6 year term --- was it 6 ( as opposed to the usual 5) because of the rental property ? If so it shouldn't be extended. If it was 6 for other reasons, then it could be extended by another year in lieu of equity release.

IVA's can also be extended to make up arrears, payment breaks or to offset a reduction in regular payments during the term, by agreement.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Yes, yes and yes.

Why are you asking - what is your underlying query?

Like Lisa has already said, they are all possible but depends on the individual case. What is it that you are worried about ?
