Who are Roma Finance and what do they do?

Established in 2010, Roma Finance is lending less ordinary. An all-encompassing specialist lender with a progressive range of lending solutions on standard to complex bridging, development and buy-to-let applications, focussed on supporting intermediaries and customers to help them achieve their property aspirations.

Roma Finance offers non-regulated finance up to £3 million and have operated successfully in the market for over ten years across residential investment and commercial properties throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

It also now offers RomaFLOW, their fast new bridging channel, designed to be speedy, straightforward and simple. By reducing the documentation required and aligning itself with the applicant’s goals, it has sped up the process for standard bridging cases, bringing them to completion much quicker than before.

Roma Finance are vastly experienced at providing bridging loans for every type of refurbishment level. Whether light, medium or heavy, choose their can-do approach and fast, flexible process. Roma has a highly competitive and unique offering on refurbishment as it uses cost of works as the benchmark to decide which level is required. An application that would be considered heavy refurbishment by one lender, could be light or medium with Roma, depending on how much as a percentage of the Current Market Value was spent on works.

In line with demand, Roma now offers a new commercial development finance product with rates starting from 1.00%, as well as commercial bridging finance with rates starting from 0.89% for semi-commercial and 1.00% for commercial.

Roma Finance is customer centric and wants to make the lending process smooth for borrowers as well as helping them create wealth from properties. The ‘customer for life’ proposition is a multi-stage solution to creating lifetime customers. It is a tailored solution and won’t be found on sourcing systems.

The key benefits for customers are:

The same valuer will value throughout each stage
Consistency of decision: the same valuer will remain on the project removing the refinance risk for the borrower
Dual rep on bridge to term
Lower fees all the way through
High LTVs
Release the equity created for the next project
