Yes - but you will have to bear in mind that at that time there will be an IVA disclosed on your credit file, so you can expect to be penalised on interest rate as a result. It might be better to consider doing this now, before you enter into the IVA, and perhaps looking at the benefit of a five year fixed rate mortgage. Do you have a redemption penalty on your current mortgage?

Hi
If you can,t remortgage now because of excessive early redemtion fees make sure that if you enter into the IVA now your IP factors in an allowance for increased mortgage payments in 18 months or the ability to remortgage in 18 months.
However try to do as Melanie suggests
