I had a buy to let property repossessed in 2010, the property was sold and a judgment got by bank for residual debt in Jan 2012. A judgement mortgage was placed on my family home in Feb 2012. Just under 6 years later the bank took me to court for an installment order. I paid this for 5 years ( bank Solicitors said to pay to mortgage account), I did this involuntarily as was afraid I could go to prison if I didn’t pay it. My question is this 1) How long does the judgement stay on home and 2) Can it be extended due to payment of installment order. Both my wife and I the judgement was against. We are now separating and need to sell house. Judgement was for 500k and house value is 700k
 
Judgements last 12 years. Debt can become statute barred if not paid or acknowledged in writing. In your case you state you paid possibly as late as 2017. So its valid and will be paid from Sale of property
