Cheadle-based specialist lender, Together, has announced the successful pricing of its £443 million residential mortgage backed securitisation (RMBS).
The latest pricing of the 1st charge only securitisation is the second for the non-bank lender in just three months, and only its ninth overall. The new facility refinances assets from Together’s Charles Street facility, and is supported by a portfolio of 1st charge owner-occupied and buy-to-let residential mortgages secured against properties in England, Wales and Scotland.
Placed notes were priced at a weighted average cost of 1.48%, and 90% of issued notes are expected to be rated AAA by credit ratings agencies Fitch, S&P and KBRA.
Gerald Grimes, Group CEO Designate of Together commented:
“We are delighted to announce the successful pricing of our second RMBS this year, which will help us to support more residential owner occupier and buy-to-let customers in realising their ambitions.”
Gary Beckett, Group Managing Director and Chief Treasury Officer at Together, added:
“Over the last 12 months we have successfully added almost £1.5bn in funding to support our growth ambitions, highlighting the strength of our business model, quality of our loan book and strong ongoing support from our investors.”
