Roma Finance Secures £100m NatWest Funding Line to Scale Lending Capacity

Roma Finance, a specialist lender known for its tailored property finance solutions, has announced a significant development by securing a new £100 million funding line with NatWest. This strategic facility is set to enable Roma Finance to substantially scale its loan book, increasing its total lending capacity to an impressive £400 million.

This new funding line will not only support Roma Finance's ambitious growth plans for 2025 but also significantly enhance its ability to meet the evolving needs of brokers and property investors. It aims to provide more flexible and competitive finance options across both the bridging and buy-to-let (BTL) markets.

Key Benefits

Scott Marshall, Managing Director of Roma Finance, commented on this pivotal moment: “This additional funding from NatWest marks a pivotal moment for Roma Finance, our customers and broker partners. As the demand for specialist finance continues to increase, this facility equips us with the resources to support more customers in achieving their property goals.” He added that the relationship with NatWest is instrumental in their growth strategy and expressed excitement about expanding their offering in the bridging and BTL sectors.

George Ross, Managing Director and Head of Speciality Finance at NatWest, also shared his enthusiasm, stating: “We have been watching Roma's impressive growth over the past few years and we are delighted to provide the team with this new funding line, enabling them to continue to scale their operations and meet the increasing demand from brokers.” He further noted that the collaboration is built on shared values of supporting customers to thrive through customer-focused lending and innovation.

Eligibility Criteria

This funding boost follows Roma Finance's recent restructuring of its proposition into "Flow," "Grow," and "Pro" ranges, and an earlier £2 million funding line increase from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, solidifying its position in the specialist lending sector.
