Will my Iva stop me from getting another 5 year fix on my morgage or will it just roll over to a standard variable rate which I want to stay with NatWest anyway will they say no I can’t have another fixed rate because I’m now on IVA? Or NatWest will say yes as I’ll be staying with them again? I’m really confused I think theyl refuse me

I don't know what their criteria is but I suspect you may have to go onto a variable rate. I am sure one of our mortgage experts will pick up on this and give you a reply.

Hi,

Not a mortgage expert, but as a rule of thumb it is very unlikely that you would be able to switch to a deal elsewhere through another lender, but fixing again with your existing lender should be ok.

If push comes to shove, and it isn't, then your IVA provider should reduce any IVA payment by the same amount as your mortgage payment increases (subject to certain criteria).

Kindest regards.

Hi, apologies on the delayed reply.
I cannot comment on the criteria when going dircet to your lender, but we do this all the time for our IVA clients, and can cover certain criteria the ledners sometimes ask for, so we can help.
