Any remortgage would have to be agreed by your ex partner at the beginning and would only involve a calculation of your share of the equity. It may be better to offer a six year IVA at the beginning and exclude the property to avoid unpleasantness later on. Speak to your IP about this option.

If you do have to remortgage a joint property, and only one of you is in an IVA, then the money raised is set against the insolvent parties remaining equity share, thus not affecting the share of the solvent partner. Commonly referred to as the "Equity of Exoneration".
