KBRA UK (KBRA) assigns ratings to six classes of notes issued by Bletchley Park Funding 2025-1 PLC, a static UK RMBS securitisation backed by a portfolio of first-ranking buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage loans secured on residential properties in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The aggregate balance of the closing portfolio is £274.7 million as of 30 April 2025 (cut-off date). The loans were originated by Quantum Mortgages Limited (QML), a specialist BTL lender established in October 2021 with a loan book of approximately £489 million as of April 2025. This is QML’s second public securitisation and the first to be rated by KBRA.

BCMGlobal Mortgage Services Limited (BCM) is the servicer of the portfolio and has over 25 years' of experience of servicing assets across Europe.

QML is a relatively new lender in the UK specialist lending sector and targets professional landlords and specialist property types through several products that include single residential units, HMOs, multi-unit blocks, holiday lets, and semi-commercial assets.

The transaction features a sequential amortisation structure, a Liquidity Reserve Fund (LRF), interest rate hedging via a fixed-floating swap, and principal deficiency ledgers for each rated class, typical to UK RMBS issuances.
