Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA): London Property Developer and Professional Landlord

• The client owns 8 properties in London and 2 more properties that were subject to Fixed Charge Receiverships. The total unsecured creditors were £436,052 in the Statement of Affairs.
• The IVA was successfully agreed in November 2011 and a Bankruptcy Petition against the Debtor was dismissed as a result.
