Hi jonathon and welcome to the forum
The question to ask is what level of equity do you currently have in the property? If your wife decides to propose an IVA to your creditors, she will need to agree to have the property revalued during the final year and then raise equity to the extent of her share based upon 85% loan to value. Of course you will need to agree to that additional borrowing, so best to consider the implications of this at an early stage.
