Roma Finance has secured a new £100m funding line with NatWest.
The facility will enable the specialist lender to significantly scale its loan book, increasing its total lending capacity to £400m.
As well as supporting its growth plans for 2025, Roma Finance said the deal also enhances its ability to meet the changing needs of brokers and property investors, by providing flexible finance options in the bridging and buy-to-let (BTL) markets.
Roma Finance managing director, Scott Marshall, said that the additional funding from NatWest “marks a pivotal moment” for Roma Finance, its 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,” Marshall commented.
“Our relationship with NatWest is instrumental in our growth strategy, and we are excited to expand our offering in the bridging and BTL sectors.”
Managing director and head of speciality finance at NatWest, George Ross, added: “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 and property investors.
“Our collaboration with Roma Finance is built on the shared values of supporting customers to thrive through customer-focused lending and innovation.”
