Less risk, more reputation
At Roma we understand that commercial and semi-commercial bridging loans can be suddenly required for a variety of reasons. It’s a type of short-term finance that rarely falls into traditional lenders’ simple, ready-made categories.
Brownfield site? Business expansion or new start-up? You’ll find us refreshingly open-minded about the type of property involved, the reason for the loan, and the exit strategy.
We can consider a variety of property types, constructions, credit profiles, income and offer both first and second charge bridging loans, making us a lender less ordinary.

Got a question? We have answers.
Commercial bridge loans (also known as commercial mortgage bridge loans) are short-term commercial real estate loans that are used for the purchase of commercial properties when permanent financing is not an option. Their primary use is when a property needs significant renovation before it will qualify for permanent financing.
Commercial bridging, also known as a commercial bridge loan is lending on commercial property, such as offices, retail units or industrial premises. It can also be used by those who want to purchase or refinance larger or more complex residential properties.
Currently, all commercial bridging finance is non-regulated, meaning the FCA extends no protection or supervision to this area of the industry. If you’re securing a loan for an investment property, a commercial building, or for a buy-to-let it will not be regulated.
Six steps from enquiry
to completion
-
OOver many years of arranging bridging finance, the Roma team is continually refining the process to make it hassle-free and responsive. Above all to make it quick and slick, because property deadlines are tight deadlines.
It takes a team who love to lend to fast-track cases, twin-track the legals and the underwriting… do whatever it takes to drive the sale forward.

Yet no matter how rapidly we’re working, we always take the trouble to understand what makes each case different, and keep everyone informed at every stage.
Need to complete within 48 hours? We can run stages 2 – 5 simultaneously, and may even release funds to our solicitor before the due diligence process has been completed.
