ROMA FINANCE COMPLETES £1.5M 4-DAY AUCTION FUNDING FOR BRISTOL INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Roma Finance has demonstrated its speed and reliability in the specialist finance market by completing a £1.5million loan in just four days to secure a high-value auction property in Bristol.

The property, purchased for £2.25 million, comprises 16 apartments – nine two-bedroom and seven one-bedroom – plus a commercial unit and garages. Planning permission has been granted for two additional apartments and a three-storey side extension to create a further eight flats, making this a standout development opportunity.

The borrower, an experienced portfolio landlord and first-time Roma customer, turned to Roma after a previous lender was unable to meet the auction completion deadline. Working alongside Mortgage Lane, the Roma team structured and underwrote the deal within two days, helping secure a project that will bring more high-quality housing to one of the UK’s most in-demand cities.

The transaction was powered by RomaFLOW, the streamlined lending range designed for auctions and time-critical opportunities.

Daniel Hill, 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.”

This deal highlights Roma’s expertise in auction finance, its ability to step in quickly when other lenders cannot, and its focus on supporting broker and borrowers with complex, time-sensitive transactions.
