Roma Finance has completed a £1.924m commercial bridging loan in seven days, supporting the purchase of a vacant food and beverage retail unit intended for investment.
The borrower, introduced by Rainstone Money, required urgent funding with only 10 days remaining before the notice of completion deadline. While multiple lenders were willing to support the transaction, the availability of a valuation within the required timescale posed a significant obstacle.
Roma worked with surveyors Quadrin to secure a valuation appointment on a Sunday evening, delivering the report by the following Wednesday. The loan was completed within seven days on a six-month term, with senior team involvement ensuring rapid underwriting and execution.
"Delivering speed and certainty is critical in the bridging market, particularly when acquisition deadlines are non-negotiable," comments Alisha Chu (pictured), senior BDM at Roma Finance, "This case demonstrates our ability to act decisively, work collaboratively with surveyors and solicitors, and maintain high service standards under pressure."
Syed Hassan Bukhari, Director of Sales at Rainstone Money, added, "Completing a deal within such restricted timeframes requires proactive support and commercial understanding. Roma Finance worked closely with all parties involved to remove barriers and deliver the required outcome for the client."
