hello, my partner was in an IVA which finished April 2018, we are in process of applying for a mortgage, and this has now dropped completely off his credit file, and he has spent 2 years building that file back up, will he need to tell the lender he did have an IVA a few years ago?

Depends on whether they ask if you have ever been in an IVA.

They ask the question in various ways: Are you in an IVA - NO. Have you startedf an IVA in the last 6 years - NO. Have you ever been in an IVA -- YES

Then comes the issue that some lenders will lend anyway, after 6 years from the start, some 3 or 6 years from the end, some never.

I would suggest a chat with Ryan and / or Shaun who are both whole of market brokers who have, between them, helped many with an IVA in their past.

Contact details can be gleaned from their profile pages:
Ryan: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=18488
Shaun: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=22837
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Some don't ask at the offer in principle stage, but only when and if the application proceeds. They are a specialist lender so, I imagine, will not be surprised. Could I ask what sort of rate they are quoting ?
