Roma Finance, the lender less ordinary, has completed a record month in May, reporting a 50 percent increase in pipeline business, on top of the 100 percent increase achieved in 2020. This is in addition to the fact that 25 percent of all new business comes from existing borrowers and customer referrals.

Roma has experienced multiple record breaking periods of enquiries and completions within the last year, and a review of all active loans and applications in underwriting show this to be continuing.

Roma Finance believes the surge in enquiries and cases demonstrates the growing requirement for specialist finance and the appetite of landlords and property investors to continue their own growth aspirations. The lender is focused on delivering an extraordinary experience to its broker partners and customers, with unrestricted access to decision makers, competitive criteria and a personalised service throughout.

Luke O’Sullivan, Bridging & Commercial Manager at The Loans Engine said, “We have been working with the Roma team for a while now and have always found them to go over and above for us and our clients. They give a personal service and we work well with the whole team. Making it smooth and easy is the service we strive to deliver. Working with our clients and understanding their goals is important, so when a lender shares these values and supports us along the way, we can’t go wrong.”

Andi Cooke, Property Developer said, “We have been working with Roma for over five years now. They truly make the effort to understand the nature of each of our projects whether straightforward or complex. They also supported us through the pandemic when we had live development sites and were struggling to get materials. Having ‘go-to’ partners that really listen to your goals is essential and make the project run with more certainty.”

Scott Marshall, Managing Director said, “I am delighted by these results showing the overall business growth and just how many people come back to us and recommend us to others. We are privileged to go on the property journey with our broker partners and customers, enabling them to achieve their goals. The more that return, the more we are certain that our unique proposition works. We have a number of exciting developments to follow this year and I am extremely excited to see what the future holds.”
