Dear Sirs

NRAM plc - Loan File Review Report – Round 1

In connection with our advice to bidders in respect of the proposed acquisition of a portfolio of loan accounts with an aggregate loan balance of approximately £13.5 billion, we have carried out a review of 86 sub accounts (which are linked to 84 main accounts) (which have been selected by one of the bidders) relating to the mortgage accounts listed in Annex 1 (the Mortgage Accounts). The Mortgage Accounts represents less than 0.5% of the portfolio, should not be considered indicative or representative of the portfolio of the whole. The review of the Mortgage Accounts was conducted on 29 July to 31 July at UKAR, North of England House, No 1 Grayling Court, Doxford International Business Park, Sunderland, SR3 3XG. This copy of the report is being furnished on 29 March 2016 at the request of Morgan Stanley & Co. International PLC. We have undertaken no analysis with respect to the Mortgage Accounts and taken no action to update this report since 29 July to 31 July 2015.

The documentation relating to the Mortgage Accounts was stored in hard copy format and included, amongst other things, the application form, the offer letter, the certificate of title, any correspondence from the conveyancer enclosing the certificate of title, a valuation report and a Key Facts Illustration. In addition, we obtained and reviewed current Land Registry official copies of the registered titles in respect of the properties charged under the Mortgage Accounts (except in seven instances (as specified in Annex 1) where the properties were unregistered). This enabled us to confirm whether the borrowers under the Mortgage Accounts were the registered proprietors in respect of each mortgaged property and to confirm whether a charge in favour of the relevant lender had been registered against the relevant titles and whether there were prior ranking charges registered against the relevant titles. We were not provided with title deeds packets in respect of the properties charged under the Mortgage Accounts.

Where a sub account of a loan file is identified as unsecured in Annex 1, the most recent secured part of the loan has been reviewed and reported on below.

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and, save where it is otherwise apparent from the face of any document, that all documents have been validly executed and delivered, have been performed in accordance with their terms by each party and are valid, legally binding and enforceable and cannot be rendered void or otherwise avoided.

The pro-forma checklist that we used to carry out the review is attached to this report at Annex 2 (the Checklist). We did not carry out any review or checks beyond those required by the Checklist. With regard to the specific questions on the Checklist our findings can be summarised as follows:

This report in no way involves the giving of advice or the recommendation to any party as to whether to proceed with any particular transaction, including (but without limitation) to any prospective investor in its decision to invest in notes backed by the loans in the portfolio. Additionally, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance regarding (i) the reasonableness or completeness of information provided to us by the originator, (ii) the physical existence of the loans, (iii) the reliability or accuracy of the documents provided to us by the originator which were used in our procedures, (iv) the adequacy of the disclosures in the files, (v) whether any of the statements expressed therein omit any material fact, (vi) the enforceability of any contractual provision in the Mortgage Accounts or (vii) whether or not any loan complied with the origination standards or otherwise of the originator.

Limitations and Qualifications

This Report is issued subject to the following limitations and qualifications:

 

(a) We express no opinion as to whether the sample size that was selected by the bidder in respect of our review was sufficient or whether or not any Mortgage Account should or should not have been included in our review or whether the sample was, or was selected in a manner intended to be, in any way representative or indicative of the portfolio as a whole.

 

(b) We express no opinion on whether any Mortgage Account may or may not form part of the collateral for any securitisation.

 

(c) This Report is issued as at the date hereof and we will not be required to provide any update or provide any additional information whether in respect of the Mortgage Accounts or otherwise and whether or not any additional information, facts or circumstances come to our attention after the date hereof.

(e) In relying upon this report, you agree (save as may otherwise have been expressly agreed in writing) that we have no responsibility to, and we will not, perform any work subsequent to the date of this report nor to consider, monitor, communicate or report the impact of any events or circumstances which may occur or may come to light subsequent to the date of this report.

 

(f) We provide no assurance as to the reaction of the rating agencies or any third parties to particular features of the relevant loans and we make no comment on the economics or pricing in relation to any securitisation.

(h) The work carried out by Allen & Overy LLP was designed to meet the agreed requirements of the Addressees and particular features of our engagement determined by their need at the time. This report should not therefore be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by any party wishing to acquire any right to bring any action against Allen & Overy LLP in connection with any such use or reliance other than the Addressees for any purpose or in any context. In particular, this report was not prepared for the need, purposes or requirements of any other recipients. Any party other than the Addressees who obtains access to this report or a copy of it and chooses to rely on this report (or any part of it) will do so at its own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Allen & Overy LLP will accept no responsibility or liability in respect of this report to any other party.

 

(i) This Report is not intended to constitute findings and conclusions relating to a review of pool assets for the purposes of issuing findings on: (1) the accuracy of asset data; (2) determining whether assets conform to stated underwriting standards; (3) asset values; (4) legal compliance by the originator; and (5) any other factor material to the likelihood that any issuer of securities backed by loans in the portfolio will pay interest and principal as required.

 

1. There was a copy of the application form on file for 74 of the Mortgage Accounts. In all except one of these instances the application form had been signed by each of the borrowers. The application form for account number 03150L-05925 was incomplete and the signature page was missing and therefore we cannot confirm if the application form had been signed by each of the borrowers. The application form for account number 06450K-00690 is illegible and therefore we cannot confirm whether the application form had been signed by each of the borrowers. Application forms were not available for those accounts so specified in Annex 1. The application form for account number 16750Y-01503 was signed by two borrowers, however the property is registered solely in the name of one of the borrowers, the lender provided a letter regarding the transfer of equity dated 2001. The application form for account number 18150L-10393 was signed by two borrowers, however the property is registered solely in the name of one of the borrowers, the lender provided a letter regarding the transfer of equity dated 2009 and a signed transfer form for the property. Account number 23350T-00904 contained an application form signed by only one of two borrowers. The original offer was to only one borrower, however we were provided with an executed transfer form transferring the property to the name of the two borrowers.

In a number of instances only the original application form for the main account (and not the individual application form for the specified sub account) was available on the file. We have therefore reviewed the original application form in a number of instances. The lender confirmed that for a mortgage review (i.e. a remortgage or a transfer of product) a full application form would not be completed and a telephone or online application would be completed instead.

 

2. The offer letters held on file for 60 of the Mortgage Accounts did not require a signature from the borrowers, however in 13 of these cases there was a separate acceptance of offer form signed by all the borrowers available on the file. In seven instances, the offer letter was signed by all the borrowers. The lender confirmed that for original mortgage offers they would rely on the signed mortgage deed as acceptance of the offer and security. The lender further confirmed that for mortgage reviews (i.e. remortgages or transfers of product) and further advances the offers would be signed. Offer letters were not available for the accounts specified in Annex 1. The offers for account 00250Y-00396 and 10550A-00587 were illegible and it could not be confirmed whether the offer letter had been signed by each of the borrowers. For account number 06450K-00690 the offer letter held on file was illegible, however there was a separate acceptance of offer form signed by all the borrowers available on the file.

 

3. In each case where there was a legible offer letter on file the loan was expressed to be provided by NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc).

 

3


4. (a) In 40 instances a certificate of title was present on file and had been signed by the conveyancer in manuscript. In 30 accounts, a report on title was held on the file and had been signed by the conveyancer in manuscript. The lender confirmed that both certificates of title and reports on title were used prior to 2004. Post-2004, only certificates of title have been used for properties. The lender believes that the change occurred in sync with the change to mortgage regulations. The lender confirmed that it did not have a policy as to when a report on title would have been used instead of a certificate of title prior to 2004. The lender further confirmed that where a mortgage is already secured against a property (i.e. in the case of a mortgage review or a further advance) it is policy that no new certificate of title would be required. There was no certificate of title held on file for the accounts specified in Annex 1.

(b) 14 certificates of title present on file were addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) and its successors in title. 26 certificates of title present on file were addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) only. One of the reports on title present on file was addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) and its successors in title. 29 of the reports on title present on file were addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) only.

 

5. (a) In 17 instances a copy of a valuation report addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) was present on file which had been signed by the valuer electronically and in 56 instances a copy of a valuation report had been signed by the valuer in manuscript. There was no valuation report on file for the accounts so specified in Annex 1. The lender confirmed that where a mortgage is already secured against a property (i.e. in the case of a mortgage review or a further advance) it is policy that no new valuation would be required. The lender confirmed that in most cases a desktop valuation would have been carried out in these instances for a more accurate and up to date valuation figure.

(b) In 32 instances where a valuation report was present on file it was addressed to NRAM plc (or a previous name of NRAM plc, or an entity which has merged with NRAM plc) but not to its successors in title, in the remaining 41 instances where a valuation report was present on file the valuation report was also addressed to successors in title.

 

6. In 59 instances the Land Registry official copies of the registered titles showed that the borrowers were the registered proprietors of the properties charged under the Mortgage Accounts.

15 of the sub accounts reviewed have been redeemed (as specified in Annex 1) and therefore (except for account numbers 49850J-25989 and 25650J-01061) the official copies of the registered titles did not show the borrowers as the registered proprietors of the properties charged under the Mortgage Accounts. In addition, seven of the sub accounts related to unregistered properties (as specified in Annex 1) and therefore the proprietor of the land could not be established. For account numbers 23050K-00011, 045850T-00916 and 11050Y-00228 all relevant documentation was missing from the file and therefore the borrowers under the accounts could not be verified against the registered proprietors of the land. For account 05860K-00139 the application form was executed by two borrowers, however the loan was only made to one of the borrowers and the property is only registered to one of the borrowers. The lender confirmed that there is no further evidence regarding this account. For account number 03160U-04309 the application form was executed by two borrowers, however the property was registered in the name of one borrower. The lender provided us with evidence of the transfer of equity from 1981. For account number 16750Y-01503 the application form was executed by two borrowers, however the property was registered in the name of one borrower. The lender provided us with evidence of the transfer of equity from 2001.

 

7.

For 68 of the Mortgage Accounts the Land Registry official copies revealed that the properties were registered with freehold title. For a further 11 Mortgage Accounts the Land Registry official copies

 

4


  revealed that the properties were registered with leasehold title. The remaining, seven Mortgage Accounts (as specified in Annex 1) were secured on unregistered properties and therefore we could not confirm whether these properties were leasehold or freehold.

 

8. For 74 of the Mortgage Accounts the Land Registry official copies revealed that the properties were registered with absolute title. For five of the Mortgage Accounts (account numbers 02750A-11537, 02660N-02379, 10550A-00587, 11050Y-00228 and 16750Y-01503) the Land Registry official copies revealed that the properties were registered with good leasehold title. In addition, seven of the titles (as specified in Annex 1) were unregistered and therefore we could not confirm the quality of title.

 

9. Based on the information contained in the property register for 10 of the leasehold titles we were able to confirm that the unexpired term of each lease was at least 70 years from the date of completion of the loan and 30 years from the end of the mortgage term. For account number 52850N-13573 the unexpired term of the lease was 69 years and 8 months from the date of completion of the loan, however the lease has more than 30 years from the end of the mortgage term. In addition, seven of the titles (as specified in Annex 1) are unregistered and therefore we cannot confirm whether these are freehold or leasehold.

 

10. In all cases where a certificate of title or a report on title was available on the file the certificate of title or report on title (as applicable) did not contain any disclosures against the statements therein.

There were four instances where there was correspondence on file from the conveyancers enclosing the certificates of title or the reports on title. This correspondence did not contain any disclosures against the statements in the certificates of title. For all of the remaining Mortgage Accounts where there was a certificate of title or report on title on file, there was no correspondence on file from the conveyancers enclosing the certificates of title or the reports on title. There was no certificate of title held on file for the accounts so specified in Annex 1.

The certificates of title did not disclose the existence of any third party occupiers.

 

11. In all except seven instances, where there was a legible valuation report and legible offer letter on file, the valuation dated on or before the date of the loan prescribed a market value for the property that exceeded the amount of the loan. For account number 03450T-10727 the original valuation from 1999 prescribed a valuation of £26,000 which did exceed the amount of the original 1999 loan, however, the sub account which was reviewed was for the 2005 offer (for £53,234.84) and no new valuation had been undertaken. The lender confirmed that where a mortgage is already secured against a property (i.e. in the case of a mortgage review or a further advance) it is policy that no new valuation would be required. The lender confirmed that in most cases a desktop valuation would have been carried out in these instances for a more accurate and up to date valuation figure. For account number 05360A-000274, the valuation dated on or before the date of the loan prescribed a market value for the property that was equal to the amount of the loan. For account number 20950N-000298 there was an original valuation report from 1981 which prescribed a market value of £30,000. The sub account reviewed was from 2006 for a sum of £121,737.50 and no new valuation was on the file. For one account (14850D-03621) the original valuation was undertaken in 2001 and was for £140,000 with an original loan amount of £100,000. This sub account related to a loan in 2008 for £204,546 and therefore the valuation does not prescribe a market value for the property which exceeds the amount of the loan, however, the lender has confirmed that where a mortgage is already secured against a property, no new physical valuation would be undertaken and in most cases a desktop valuation would be performed for a more accurate and up to date valuation figure. Account number 16950K-02643 provided an original valuation of £165,000 in 1996, however this sub account relates to the 2008 loan which was for £172,000. There is a desktop valuation for £750,000 dated in 2008 before the 2008 offer, which has been signed in manuscript and is addressed to Northern Rock plc only. The offer letter for account 03150L-05925 did not include the amount of

 

5


  the loan, however this could be confirmed from the mortgage deed and the amount of the loan in the mortgage deed exceeded the market value for the property which was contained in a valuation dated prior to the deed. For account number 253350T-00904 the original valuation was carried out in 1983 (with a market value of £7,500) and the original loan in 1983 was for £3,550, however the sub account reviewed is the 1990 account and the loan for this sub account was £13,000 and no new valuation was available on the file. Account number 09650U-08757 had a valuation on file from 2002 for £78,500 and an offer for £65,075, however, the sub account reviewed was the 2004 loan for £88,207.86 and no new valuation had been carried out.

 

12. In 62 instances the Land Registry official copies of the registered titles revealed that a charge in favour of NRAM plc had been registered and in all instances as a first-ranking charge.

Account number 15750A-00147 has a charge in favour of NRAM plc which is registered behind a charge having priority specified in section 156 of the Housing Act 1985 to secure the liability under the covenant to repay the discount contained in the transfer dated 10 January 1994.

Ten of the sub accounts reviewed did not contain any charges in favour of any lender in the official copies (account numbers 49850L-05983, 01460N-00084, 02950D-00278, 13750Y-03771, 25650J-01061, 09650K-02539 (sub accounts N115673 and N115674), 49850F-67441 (sub accounts N227270 and N227271) and 25650N-04423). Eight of the sub accounts reviewed only contained a charge in favour of a different lender in the official copy (account number 01450N-03920 contains a charge in favour of Bank of Scotland plc; 02750A-11537 and 49850T-60489 in favour of The Mortgage Works (UK) plc; 18850K-00212 and 49850A-20631 in favour of Santander UK plc; 49850F-50953 in favour of National Westminster Bank plc; 49850J-25989 in favour of Kensington Mortgage Company Limited; and 18850W-00627 in favour of Virgin Money plc only).

In addition, seven of the sub accounts related to unregistered properties (as specified in Annex 1) and therefore it could not be established whether there was a charge in favour of the Lender over the land.

Account number 12250J-00219 contains a caution on the proprietorship register in favour of First National Bank plc.

 

13. In 14 instances the Land Registry official copies of the registered titles revealed that restrictions in favour of NRAM plc were present in the proprietorship register. In the official copies for the remaining Mortgage Accounts no such restriction was present in the proprietorship register. In addition, seven of the sub accounts related to unregistered properties (as specified in Annex 1) and therefore it could not be established whether there was a restriction in favour of the Lender over the land.

 

14. In all except six instances where there was an offer letter held on the Mortgage Account file there was no obligation in the offer letters to make further advances. In these six instances, the offer held on file was illegible (as specified in Annex 1) and we are therefore unable to confirm whether there was an obligation in the offer letters to make further advances.

 

15. In 34 instances the certificate of title incorporated the provisions of the certificate of title set out in the Appendix to rule 6(3) of the Solicitors’ Practice Rules 1990. In six instances the certificate of title incorporated the provisions set out in the annex to rule 3 of the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct 2007. In 30 instances a report on title was provided instead of a certificate of title which did not incorporate any of the above provisions. There was no certificate of title held on file for those accounts where it is so specified in Annex 1.

 

16.

The Land Registry official copies of the registered titles revealed that charges had been registered in favour of third parties at the Land Registry against 12 of the registered titles charged under the

 

6


Mortgage Accounts. Account number 10005554 contains a second ranking charge in favour of IDEM Capital Securities Limited which is dated the same date as the NRAM plc charge. Account number 08650K-02581 has a second ranking charge in favour of National Westminster Bank plc registered. Account numbers 53550L-03470 and 58150D-40996 have second ranking charges in favour of Firstplus Financial Group plc; Account number 54950N-13856 contains a second ranking charge in favour of Black Horse Limited;; Account number 58250D-21739 has a second ranking charge in favour of Marlin Europe II Limited; Account number 05860K-00139 contains a unilateral notice in respect of an interim charging order dated 31 March 2005 in favour of Link Financial Limited; Account number 15150K-00070 contains a second ranking charge in favour of Blemain Finance Limited; and Account number 09650U-08757 contains a third ranking charge (which ranks behind two NRAM plc charges) in favour of Swift Advances plc.

Account number 04850T-00916 has three charges to NRAM plc registered dated 3 May 1985, 3 September 1991 and 19 February 2001. There is a subsequent charge to GE Money Secured Loans Limited dated 18 September 2006.

Account number 03450T-10727 has two charges to NRAM plc dated 14 December 1999 and 24 April 2002. There is a subsequent charge to GE Money Home Finance dated 14 December 2006. The official copy also shows three equitable charges created by interim charging order in favour of Northern Rock plc, CL Finance Limited and Northumbrian Water Limited.

Account number 15750A-00147 contains an NRAM plc charge as a second ranking charge. There is a subsequent equitable charge created by an interim charging order of the Bradford County Court dated 20 January 2011 in favour of CapQuest Investments Limited.

In 11 instances NRAM plc has more than one charge registered on the official copies at the Land Registry.

The Land Registry official copies revealed that no other charges had been registered in favour of third parties at the Land Registry against the remaining titles.

 

17. Where the Land Registry Official Copy disclosed another charge was registered, a deed of priority was not registered for any of the accounts. We cannot confirm whether there is a deed of priority for the seven account numbers which are unregistered (as specified in Annex 1).

 

18. An application form; offer letter; certificate of title or report on title; and valuation report were seen as part of our review in all cases except where specified in the ‘missing documents’ column in Annex 1.

 

19. All of the documents that are referred to in paragraph 18 above were in the form of standard documentation and we did not find any instances where amendments were evident on the face of the standard form documents.

 

20. Pre-offer KFI letters were available for seven of the Mortgage Accounts. Pre-offer KFI letters were not available for the remaining Mortgage Accounts.

 

21. 25 of the Mortgage Accounts (as specified in the ‘comments’ section of Annex 1) contained documentation relating to loans provided to the borrowers under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
