Im thinking of applying for an iva,but am worried as to how it will affect my current mortgage,if i go down this road will we be able to keep our home ?
Hi Michael and welcome to the forum. There are a lot of posters myself included that live in a mortgaged property, during the 4th year you will almost certainly have an equity clause written into your IVA whereby you will need to release some equity to pay to the creditors. Have you taken any professional advice yet?
Always make sure you take the advice of 2 or companies to ensure you get case specific impartial free advice on all debt solutions suitable for you.

Welcome from me as well and excellent advice from Lesley.

This is always a homeowner's biggest worry when looking into sorting out their debts.
As Lesley rightly advises, its best to discuss your situation with a couple of companies so we can look at the whole picture for you.
With the right advice you will not sign up to anything that is not in your best interests so it is important to understand al the options and implications of each.
The only time an IVA option may suggest someone moving from their home is if the cost of living in it was extraordinarily high compared with renting or if someone had serious negative equity and wanted to move to rented so the mortgage shortfall could be incorprated into the unsecured debt. Either way, if you were not happy with the option then it would point you in the direction of an alternative debt solution.
An experienced IP company will advise you of your options based on the details of your own situation and take the necessary time up front to help you make the right decision for you.
