What Is an IVA – and How Does It Affect a Mortgage?

An IVA is a legally binding agreement arranged through an insolvency practitioner to repay debts over a fixed period.

While an IVA significantly impacts your credit file, lenders don’t all treat it the same way. High-street banks tend to be cautious, but specialist lenders assess your full financial position, including income, deposit, and recent money management – rather than relying solely on your past.

These mortgages are often grouped under IVA mortgages or bad credit mortgages and are specifically designed for borrowers with adverse credit histories.

Can You Get a Mortgage During or After an IVA?

Yes, though your options depend on whether your IVA is active or completed.

Active IVA
Mortgage choices are limited, but some specialist lenders may consider applications with:

• Larger deposits
• Strong income stability
• Evidence of improved financial management

Completed IVA
Once your IVA is marked as satisfied on your credit file, more mortgage products typically become available and rates may improve over time.

During your initial consultation, we assess your full circumstances and explain what’s realistically achievable.

What Lenders Consider

When reviewing IVA mortgage applications, lenders usually look at:

• Credit history
• Deposit size
• Monthly affordability
• Employment stability
• Evidence of responsible financial behavior since the IVA

Each lender applies different criteria – which is why specialist guidance matters.

• Know which lenders accept IVA cases
• Present your application in the strongest possible way

How Much Deposit Is Needed?

• Whether your IVA is active or completed

• Your income and affordability
• Your current credit behavior

We’ll provide clear guidance during your consultation.
