KBRA Europe (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of
notes issued by Merrion Square Residential 2024-1 DAC (Merrion
Square 2024). The transaction is a static RMBS securitisation
collateralised by seasoned performing and reperforming mortgage
loans. The provisional portfolio, aggregating €651.7 million in
current balance, primarily consists of loans secured by mostly
owner-occupied (57.2%) and buy-to-let (42.2%) properties located in
Ireland. The portfolio includes mortgages originated by three Irish
originators, Permanent TSB plc (74.4%), Springboard Mortgages
Limited (13.0%) and Irish Nationwide Building Society (12.6%).
The entire portfolio is currently serviced by Mars Capital
Finance Ireland DAC (Mars). About 74.4% of the portfolio was
previously serviced by Start Mortgages DAC (Start). As of June
2024, Start has wind-down its operations and has transferred its
servicing and the majority of its staff to Mars before the closing
of Merrion Square 2024 transaction.
