Hi All,

I was informed by a mortgage broker that it would be expensive to arrrange a fixed rate as I have not been in IVA for 12 months.Is this information true?

He informs me that I mayhave to pay 8%! to fix a rate.

Can any one cooment? please.

hara.

Hara everybody’s situation is different. The rate you could obtain would depend on your personal circumstances. There are all sorts of mortgage products out there, some of the criteria of these products views IVAs harshly, others seem to view IVAs as no more than a loan. Most need you to have carried out your IVA satisfactorily, some require you to have been in an IVA for over 12 months. No one can tell you what rate you may be able to get without going into all the details.

I am not at work at the moment, so can not check, but I’m sure there are lenders that have products with a fixed rate less than 8% that will allow an IVA without the requirement for you to have been in the IVA for over 12 months.
