Hi guys,

I'm in an IVA at the moment (approx 7 months) but I would like to explore the opportunity of getting a mortgage or going into a 50% ownership property, I've done a bit of swift googling and it looks as there are some high interest/off the high street mortgage brokers that would potentially help? Is this something that could happen or do I need to fulfill the IVA first before I look into this?

Cheers

At the moment I would say no as you have only just started your IVA. If you could find an adverse lender the interest rates would be eye wateringly high.

Hi Adam,

Feel free to contact us to discuss your situation. You would probably have to clear your IVA as part of the process to be able to obtain a Mortgage and you'd require a large deposit (around 30%) to purchase a property - schemes such as Shared ownership may not be an option unfortunately until 6 years after the IVA began.
