Hi
It is likely that part of your IVA provision will be to remortgage in the fourth year of your IVA and raise a lump sum.This can be typically be 85 percent of your equity.

Yes - this is getting even more "likely" following the BBA/DTI working party groups who met in London last week. Expect these clauses to become normal IVA practice over future months.

Hello,
Under bankruptcy, if you own your house, your interest (ownership) will be passed to the Official Receiver or Trustee. However under an IVA you will not loose your home.
Creditors would expect a proportion of any equity to be realised and paid into the IVA at the end, for the benefit of the creditors.
Typically this would be up to 75% of your share of the equity.
Kind regards,
Julia

Hi prettypc,
As the other experts have stated, it is the norm to pay at least 75% of your share of equity into an IVA in the fourth year, although some creditors are asking for 100%, so please bear this in mind.
