Hello
could you tell me what the chances of being allowed to relocate and downsize our house so we could offer a final payment on the iva and clear a secured loan on the house.
we are at the end of the first year of our iva and do not have a 4th year clause in the iva.
happy to hear any advice.
we are considering this because we are finding it really hard to meet the mortgage , iva and secured loan every month.
thank you

Welcome to the Forum Christine,

The best way forward would be to discuss this option with your I.P, as they know the terms and conditions of your IVA. Some creditors can put a clause into the agreement that states no variations can be held for the first 24 months.

Hi
As you do not have the equity clause you are in with a good chance.
IVA experts is quite correct that many IVAs have the two year no variation clause but if your IP backs your offer they can put a variation meeting forward to firstly remove that variation and then to propose your offer.
It is best to offer at least the original dividend and if you can 1-2p more to ensure success

Hello Christine63,
If downsizing will require a new mortgage it would be wise to investigate mortgages before committing too much time to the settlement idea. It seems that you will be using equity from the current sale of your house to offer a settlement. You should be sure that you will be able to keep enough of the proceeds of your house sale to have a sufficient deposit for the new property. In the current mortgage market the loan-to-value percentages on offer for people with satisfactorily conducted IVA's have gone down.
