KBRA UK (KBRA) affirms all of its outstanding ratings for Stark Financing 2023-1 DAC, a CMBS single-borrower transaction. The affirmations follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a decrease in the KLTV from securitisation. However, the magnitude of the change does not warrant rating changes at this time.

The collateral for the transaction is a £289.5 million component of a £339.5 million limited recourse, first lien mortgage loan secured by the borrowers’ freehold (86 properties), leasehold (16), and freehold and leasehold (one) interests in 103 industrial assets. Together, the properties comprise 7.1 million square feet (sf) and are located across 10 regions throughout the United Kingdom (UK), with the largest being the North West (24.0% of loan balance).

There have been no property sales since securitisation and the loan balance remains at £339.5 million.

KBRA utilised information obtained from the trustee and the servicer to analyse the loan collateral. The analysis produced a KNCF of £35.1 million and KBRA value of £470.1 million (£66 per sf). The resulting KLTV is 72.2%, down from 75.3% at securitisation. KBRA assigns a KPO of Perform to the loan.
