Renovating any property takes vision and nerve
Refurbishment finance that’s more than just a quick fix. It can often demand big upfront investment before a return can be expected, so short-term finance is essential to get boots on-site, or keep them there. We have a unique ‘computer says YES’ mindset.
At Roma Finance, we do refurbishment finance a bit differently. We have light, medium and heavy refurbishment and the difference between them is based purely on how much is being spent on the refurbishment compared to the Current Market Value (CMV).
Light Refurbishment – spend of between 20% – 50% of the CMV on works
Medium Refurbishment – spend of between 50% – 100% of the CMV on works
Heavy Refurbishment – spend of over 100% of the CMV on works

Got a question?
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.
The definitions for light medium and heavy refurbishment are different for each lender. The nature of the requirements will determine which option is most appropriate. At Roma, our guidelines are as follows:
- Light – Cost of Works are 20%-50% of Current Market Value
- Medium – Cost of Works are 50%-100% of Current Market Value
- Heavy – Cost of Works are over 100% of Current Market Value
