Specialist lender Roma Finance has announced the launch of Dual Representation across its bridging and term loan ranges—a significant move designed to cut costs, reduce friction and speed up completions for both brokers and borrowers.

The enhancement applies to single-bullet bridging and term lending (FLOW and PRO products) on loans up to £1 million, with Roma partnering with trusted legal firms Insight Law, JQ Law, McHale & Co and TLT LLP to deliver the service.

Dual Representation allows both borrower and lender to use the same solicitor, removing a key point of delay in the lending process. The initiative is part of a wider focus on refining the end-to-end experience for Roma customers.

In addition, Roma can also announce a new optional solution with Independent Legal Advice (ILA) to offer borrowers 10% off ILA services, helping to reduce costs further while ensuring compliance and transparency. This move makes it easier and more affordable for borrowers to meet legal requirements, particularly on personal guarantees and other regulated elements of a deal. A dedicated booking platform is now available to help make the process as fast and efficient as possible for customers.

Roma’s recent changes reflect a broader strategy to support intermediaries and borrowers with smarter lending solutions while keeping rates competitive. Roma is focused on building a best-in-class borrower experience, without compromising on pricing or service.

Michael Allison, Commercial Director at Roma Finance, commented: “Introducing Dual Representation is a crucial step in our mission to simplify the borrower journey. We’ve listened to our broker partners and customers and put in place practical, meaningful improvements—backed by trusted legal partners and a commitment to delivering value at every stage.

“With the addition of discounted ILA support, our bridging and term legal processes are now faster, clearer and more cost-effective than ever, helping more deals complete smoothly.”
