Mortgage advice
Posted: Mon May 24, 2021 1:05 pm
Hello Ryan, I hope you're well? I am looking for a bit of advice on a post-iva mortgage please.
Background is as follows. I entered my iva in 2012, settled in full in 2017 (earlier than forecast). The iva dropped off my credit report naturally after 6 years in 2018. We have recently sought the advice of what turned out to be a relatively inexperienced mortgage broker in terms of their iva knowledge, but they told us the following and I was hoping you could either confirm or deny this.
They said that most mortgage providers will only look at offering a mortgage 6 years after the iva has dropped off the credit report. Which would be 12 years after the start of the iva. I was initially under the impression it would usually be best to look when the iva was settled and it had been removed from my credit report at the 6 year mark... Is any of what he told us accurate in that we'd struggle to get a half decent mortgage before 6 years after the iva dropped off the report please? Thank you in advance!
