Hi all

I have been reading a lot of the posts on the site and most seem to mention remortgaging in the 4th year - Currently Grant Thornton are drawing up the proposal but they have never mentioned this. But my question is this - We currently have a interest only mortgage and the endowments and savings that were being used to pay the mortgage off will have to be used for creditors now, but we also have a £50K secured loan on the property which when taken against our current value of the property together with the mortgage only leaves £7K equity. Even when the end of the IVA completes the secured loan will continue for another 8 years - How will we be able to remortgage with this secured loan still in place?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rainbow

It may be possible for you to remortgage to pay off the secured loan as well. I am sure that your IP has thought of this, so if you are currently in negative equity as a result of the secured loan, then there may be little impact of any equity raising to be done in the first year. Have a chat with your IP to determine his strategy.
