KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Warrington Residential 2022-1 DAC

KBRA Europe (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes to be issued by Warrington Residential 2022-1 DAC (Warrington, the Issuer), a static securitisation collateralised by a €403.3 million pool of Irish non-performing residential mortgage loans.

The loans are collateralised by owner-occupied and buy-to-let properties located throughout Ireland. The majority of the loans were originated by Irish Nationwide Building Society (INBS), Springboard Mortgages Limited and Allied Irish Banks plc between 2006 and 2008 with 99.6% of the loans more than three months in arrears as at the cut-off date.

Over three quarters (75.9%) of the loans were originated by INBS and Springboard (the Canal Portfolio), the majority of which have been included in a prior securitisation (Grand Canal Securities 2 DAC), which closed in December 2017 and is now being refinanced. The remainder were originated by AIB (the Bay Portfolio).

Mars Capital Finance Ireland DAC (Mars) is the administrator/servicer within the transaction. Mars is a regulated financial services provider that provides third-party residential mortgage administration services for mortgage loans secured by residential real estate located in Ireland, among other services.
