Bridging and development finance company, Roma, has secured a partnership with UK Homes Network, a new web and mobile-based networking platform for property professionals.
Launched in January this year by brothers Chris and David Tremlett, UK Homes Network provides users with a place to connect directly with developers, investors, agents, landlords and other industry experts from across the UK, and Roma is set to become its sole lending partner.
The social platform will enable property developers to create strong networks and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Lending support and solutions will be provided on the platform by Roma.
Michael Allison, Commercial Director at Roma Finance, said: “The success of the UK’s property industry is rooted in its people and their ability to connect, collaborate and develop together. At Roma we work hard to support property developers financially as well as introducing them to our networks in a bid to further their contacts, expertise, confidence and achievements in the future. The whole premise of UK Homes Network aligns with this ethos and our approach to business development, and we are delighted to be accepted as its lending partner. We look forward to engaging with the UK Homes Network community, sharing our knowledge and providing unique lending opportunities to those that need it.”
Chris Tremlett, co-founder of UK Homes Network, added: “UK Homes Network has been developed to modernise and streamline the networking process, and to cut out the unwelcome advertisers that interrupt the flow of communication on other professional platforms. Our aim is to make is as easy as possible for people within the property industry to reach out directly to other individuals, to build useful relationships and to do business with likeminded, driven professionals.
“Since launching the site earlier this year we have already signed up 200 subscribers and the community is a hive of activity with introductions being made, advice being offered and opportunities being shared. Having Roma on board as our sole lending partner is another big step forward for us as it adds a huge amount of credibility to the platform and will provide the UK Homes Networking community with direct access to expert lending solutions.”
