If I am thinking about an IVA, at the end of the IVA how much of my equity would be taken from my house if it is worth £160k and the outstanding mortgage is £90k? As I have joint ownership of the house would this affect the person who shares the joint ownership with me. The debts are mine not his.

Hi Pauline

Usual calculations are based on taking lending of 85% loan to value, so in your case that would be £136k leaving you with equity of £46k available of which your share would be £23k. So if your property does not increase in value, or your mortgage reduce, you would need to find £23k.
