Hi

Me and my wife have debts of Aprox £225k

We have disaposabel income of around £500 per month

Would an iva be an option as we are homeowners and have 25-30k equity in the home at the moment

Any help
Would be great trying to sort things after hiding from
The debts for a while

On the face of it an IVA could be possible, but this would depend on an in depth analysis by a qualified IP. Being a homeowner is certainly no bar.

Could an IVA work?

We are home owners and have about 25-30k equity in the house at this current time.

Would an iva be possible even though we are home owners

Many thanks

Hi,

An IVA is a great way of protecting your home and equity as you continue to pay your mortgage throughout.
We had 200k debt and a lot more equity than you and although I believe there are more ways of re-mortgaging at the end now we could not and our mortgage was paid off shortly after we finished.

Good luck

Regards.

Yes it is possible, especially as the estimated IVA outcome is compared to the estimated Bankruptcy outcome and the Bankruptcy costs are very high compared to IVAs so can mean creditors get the same or more money back in an IVA.

It's definitely an option. Whether it's the best option will depend on other things but one of the experts here will be able to give you some specific advice if you contact them. The most important thing is taking control so you have already taken the first step. Good luck with it.
