I’m a borrower
You know you need finance. A bridging loan perhaps, or maybe a term loan. You also know that there are lots of lenders out there, and they all seem much the same. So why choose Roma Finance?
Because before we lend, we listen. Because we believe in tailoring the finance to the project. Because we understand that you simply want to get the finance over the line as quickly and efficiently as possible, and we have a knack for making good things happen.

These types of loans are also called bridge financing or a bridge loan. A bridging loan is short-term financing used until a person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation. Bridge loans are short term, typically up to one or two years. These types of loans are generally used in real estate

A refurbishment loan is a type of bridging loan, a secured borrowing available for developers and landlords looking to improve a property before selling or renting out. The finance is essentially to cover the costs of property refurbishment.
Auction finance is simply another term for bridging or short term finance. It is used to purchase properties at auction because it can be arranged extremely quickly and fits neatly into the purchasing timescales of the auction houses. Usually properties at auction are required to complete with 28 days.
