Paul Hastings Advised on First Public Securitisation of Later Life Mortgages for LiveMore Capital

Paul Hastings (Europe) LLP has successfully advised LiveMore Capital (“LiveMore”), a UK-based speciality mortgage lender focused on the 50 to 90+ age segment of the market, on pricing its first public securitisation of residential mortgages.

This landmark transaction marks a significant milestone for LiveMore as it enters the public securitisation market. The Simple, Transparent and Standardised deal involved the securitisation of a portfolio of retirement interest only mortgages and standard mortgages, enabling LiveMore to broaden its investor base and secure a robust and diversified funding platform to support its growing business.

Paul Hastings has provided comprehensive legal counsel since LiveMore’s formation in 2018, guiding LiveMore through its initial FCA authorisation, launch of its products, raising capital and supporting its enormously successful growth in the face of macro challenges the market has faced including COVID-19, interest rate volatility, a changing business environment and political uncertainty. The transaction underscore’s Paul Hastings expertise in innovative financial products and its commitment to supporting clients in achieving their strategic objectives.

Partner Paul Severs commented: “We are delighted to have supported LiveMore on its inaugural securitisation. This transaction not only reflects the increasing demand for later life mortgage products but also highlight’s LiveMore’s leadership in the market. We are proud to have played a role in helping them achieve this significant milestone.”

The successful completion of the transaction is expected to pave the way for further innovation and growth in the later life lending sector, supporting access to previously underserved corners of the mortgage market and meeting the needs of an aging population.  

Partner Paul Severs led the Paul Hastings team, which also included associates Tim Earle, Kyle Dunn and Cristiana Evans.
