the Trustees need to decide that they have an interest in the property within the first year. They then have up to a further 2 years to realise this equity.
I would really encourage you to speak to a specialist mortgage broker to see if a remortgae ( after discharge ) is possible so that you can release the equity for the OR. There is a great mortgage broker on the IVA site - Bright Oak that is worth a phone call.
When you sat 40k was that the debt or is that the likely amount required as these are usually very different amounts.
