A typical 5 year IVA will cost between £5500 - £8000.

Good morning Kho,

Welcome to the forum.

Oliver is right, it would usually be between £5500-£8000.


Kind regards,

The reason I ask is that Im currently having problems keeping up with payments on a debt of around 15000 I have at least 75000 equity in my home and Im expecting an inheritance of around 10000 in the next six months. Looking at the information on other posts I feel an IVA may not be the best option as I would be adding the IVA fees and still end up paying back intrest of aroun 8% once the "windfall payment" was payed into the IVA. Perhaps an independant agreement would make more sense at this time as I just have to keep my creditors satisfied for a short while untill I can repay the bulk of my debt and bring it back to level I can manage. Do you agree?

As you are not insolvent, and IVA could not be proposed in any case. I suggest that you write to your creditors to see if they will accept lower payments until you receive your inheritance - or explore whether a re-mortgage is a sensible option.

If you owe 15000 and have equity of 75000 why don't you just remortgage and release the equity to pay your debts?

You need to be insolvent to be eligible to propose an IVA. As you have a greater amount of equity than your debt you are not insolvent.

Certainly re-mortgageing is something Ive concidered however when I use afordability calculators the sums come up short to cover my debts + existing mortgage. Also I was unsure how likely it would be for me to be accepted having missed / eratic payments on my credit history. Is it likely for me to be able to find a mortgage under these cercumstances?
