Why Read?
- Understand how loan putbacks to Together from its securitisation conduits would rise to c. £700m if house prices decline 20%+, causing a liquidity problem
- Understand how liquidity stress would be further exacerbated by cash trapping in Together’s securitisation conduits and lengthening behavioural maturities of securitised loans relative to the short-dated maturities of Together’s securitised notes
- Understand why bridge loans and specialist/complex buy-to-let (BTL), both a substantially increased proportion of Together’s loan book over the past 5 years, are high risk
