Re-mortgaging on an IVA

My first post, so any advice gratefully received. My/our IVA should finish in April 2018. In a few months Payplan (IVA company) will ask me to try & re-mortgage, though with an IVA it's highly unlikely. We would then extend the IVA for a further 12 months.
Currently have our mortgage with NRAM at 4.29%, interest only, & am 57.
Firstly does anyone have a similar experience, did you manage to find a company to re-mortgage with, & would you advise this course!
Secondly, I understand that it will take a few years for our credit score to re-build post IVA, am self employed, with no intention of considering retirement for years. Any advise as at the present time of lenders who may just consider us in the future. Obviously wanting a repayment mortgage in the future at a reasonable % rate.
We took the IVA route over the dreaded bankruptcy as we wanted to repay as much as we could to our lenders. Sadly this approach won't help our credit score rebuild!

  • Your options will naturally be limited with an active IVA but if you're serious about re-mortgaging speak to a specialist broker outside of here (no advice is given on this forum) and I'm sure they'll make you aware of the options out there.
