Roma Finance has announced that it has completed a £1.5 million loan in just four days to fund the purchase of a high-value auction property in Bristol, underscoring its responsiveness in the specialist finance market.
The property, purchased for £2.25 million, includes 16 apartments – nine two-bedroom and seven one-bedroom – alongside a commercial unit and garages. Planning permission is in place for two additional apartments and a three-storey side extension to create eight further flats, making it a substantial development opportunity.
The borrower, an experienced portfolio landlord and first-time Roma customer, approached the lender after a previous finance provider was unable to meet the auction deadline. Working with Mortgage Lane, Roma structured and underwrote the deal within two days, ensuring completion before the auction cut-off.
The transaction was completed using RomaFLOW, the company’s streamlined lending product designed for auctions and other time-sensitive opportunities.
Daniel Hill (pictured), senior key relationship manager at Roma Finance, said: “This case required exceptional speed and precision, skills that Roma prides itself on. Working alongside Mortgage Lane, we delivered for the borrower and helped bring this exciting project to life.”
Joe Lane at Mortgage Lane added: “In auction cases like this, every hour counts. Roma’s ability to move so quickly and maintain clear communication throughout made all the difference. The customer was able to secure an incredible property and avoid the risk of losing their deposit.”
