Hi
Please can you advise me if this is a viable possibility - Just coming up to the end of year three in a five year joint IVA. Current payment is £391, without checking not sure of IVA debt but I think it was around £45K.

We live in local authority housing and are able to buy under the right to buy scheme. My question is could I raise a settlement figure from an extended mortgage pay of the IVA and buy the house? Joint income is around £30K

Thanks in Advance

Hi
You will need about 9-10K to end your IVA early.
If you are able to raise an extra 10k on your mortgage when buying your property then I can,t see a problem.You will need to consult your IP with your plans.

Yes - this is definately possible, but you will need to disclose the reasons for this to hte mortgage company, and as Andy rightly says this must be discussed with your IP first, as you cannot take any form of credit without obtaining permission.
