I have been left in a legacy. Is it all going to be taken from me or a percentage ?

Hi. Any inheritance will be taken into the IVA up to the value of the full original debt plus fees and possible statutory interest, unless the inherited sum is less than £500 (assuming you have this particular clause in your agreement).

Ask your IP to call a variation for you to retain some of the funds for the reasons you have described. Creditors will appreciate your honesty and I see no reason why they would not allow you something. We have done it in the past and found creditors to be more than reasonable.

I have mentioned the repairs and they want quotes,, also evidence off electric bill,, but not heard anything as to if this is going to happen.

If your IVA proposal follows the IVA protocol, your IP need not have to call a variation meeting as they have discretion built into the proposal to allow essential expenditure to be covered from windfall payments.

It will make it clear in the IVA proposals and attached terms and conditions. Look for part V of the terms and conditions - or better still ask you IP to guide you there.
