hello Polly and welcome to the forum

im sorry but i dont know the answer to your question but someone will be along soon who will, i know that if you own your house solely with a mortgage you will be expected to release some equity in the forth year i dont what difference there would be in your situation if any. hope you get the answer youre looking for.

Hi Polly and welcome to the forum

With shared ownership properties, it is unlikely that you would be required to raise any equity at the end of an IVA and certainly would not be required to sell your property. Do you have sufficient income to make ongoing payments to creditors over a five year period?
