The club’s member firms will now be able to register with the lender and access its full range of bridging, development, BTL, HMO and holiday-let products.

Roma Finance has bridging rates starting from 0.65% and offers loans up to £3m covering a host of scenarios, including refurbishment, auction, conversions, commercial and quick completions.

The lender recently launched a commercial bridging offering, in addition to a new ground-up development finance product.
