Our mission is to provide the ‘Borrower First’ experience to those looking to create prosperity from property through learning, collaboration, innovation and integrity.
Our bridging finance and development finance products are available for residential, semi-commercial and commercial properties, as well as land. We have options for short term finance including standard bridging, light to heavy refurbishment, conversion, renovation, auction, developer exit and development finance from ground up to developer exit.
We are different as we underwrite on the borrower before the property and have nine different funding line including institutionalised banks and building societies. Both these factors mean we have added security as a lender and can be more agile and flexible.
Here are a few fun facts about us:
- The record for our quickest completion is 5.5 hours!
- Roma is a family business with a friendly feel and is named after Scott’s grandparents Rose and Max
- Scott completed the first Roma loan by taking equity out of his own family home
- Our RomaFLOW fast bridging channel ensures 80% of our bridging completes within 28 days
Our people are experienced finance experts who understand the property market. Some are landlords themselves, and they all bring passion, commitment, positivity and agility to every deal.
